Seismic Bracing Inspection Report Missing Before Final Payment Email Template

Use this page when final payment is delayed because the buyer says the seismic bracing inspection report, restraint inspection record, or seismic support acceptance signoff is still missing. This is different from a general MEP commissioning delay because it focuses specifically on the inspection evidence for seismic restraints on pipework, ductwork, equipment, or cable containment. The business problem is that the installation may already be complete and operating, but the last balance is still being held because the payer wants the formal seismic inspection record before closeout. Your email should ask whether the seismic-bracing report is the only remaining blocker, whether the inspection has already taken place, which area or trade package is still unresolved, and whether payment will be released once that report is approved. The outcome you want is to pin the delay to one specific seismic-compliance record instead of broad comments about incomplete MEP closeout.
