CMU Fill Cell Inspections

This is one type of fill cell inspection. Is this how you do them?

That is how I did them when I was in Fl. Here in Mt due to seismic category there is a bond beam horizontally every 4 ft. for CMU construction.

If it is ICF forms, do you make them cut a hole in the styrofoam for inspection similar to what the video shows?

I only have experience with 3 ICF jobs from when I was in PA and no, we did not but should have

With ICF forms, pours are generally limited to 8' sections and it's quite easy to verify the rebar placement with a visual pre-pour inspection.
