What does an order to stop work require from the construction team?

An order to stop work specifically requires the construction team to cease ongoing construction activities. This directive is typically issued when there are violations of safety regulations, building codes, or other legal requirements that necessitate an immediate halt to ensure the safety of workers and compliance with applicable laws. By stopping construction, it allows for the necessary investigations or corrective actions to occur before resuming work.

The other options would not align with the purpose of a stop work order. For instance, reporting project progress does not address the immediate need to halt activities, filing for a new permit implies a continuation of work pending approval, and conducting a safety inspection may be a necessary follow-up action but does not inherently align with the immediate intent of stopping work. Therefore, the focus of an order to stop work is solely on requiring all construction activities to be paused.
