Depth, diameter and cage position, confirmed while the hole is still open.
Piers turn up on Leppington lots where the footing must reach through fill or soft ground to bearing the engineer will accept. Depth is the whole exercise and it is the one dimension that cannot be checked once concrete is in the hole, so the inspection has to happen between boring and the truck.
Annotated findings from Bored piers inspections on Leppington builds. Client addresses withheld.

Under an hour on a standard lot, longer where the pier count is high.
The measured depth is recorded beside the required depth. The remedy belongs to the builder and their engineer.
No. Observations go down against the engineering. Certifying is an engineer's role, and the report flags where one is required.
It can be, because concrete placed into water loses strength at the base. Recording it means it gets pumped out first.
A day is enough. Piers are often bored and filled inside two days.
