Structural Steel Weld Inspection Report Missing Before Final Payment Email Template

Use this page when final payment is delayed because the buyer says the structural-steel weld inspection report, NDT weld record, or steelwork acceptance certificate is still missing. This is different from a general fabrication closeout page because the blocker here is the formal inspection evidence for welded structural connections. The commercial problem is that the steel package may already be erected and complete, but the payer is still holding the last balance until the weld report is submitted, reviewed, and accepted. Your email should ask whether the weld inspection record is the only remaining blocker, whether testing has already been carried out, what connection, area, or nonconformance is still open, and whether payment will be released once that report is approved. The outcome you want is to pin the delay to one defined steel-inspection deliverable instead of vague comments about incomplete structural closeout.
