[[File:Protecting swale durign construction.PNG|thumb|400px|The diagram above depicts the use of an enhanced swale as a temporary detention basin during construction. This practice is avoided at all costs as it can lead to subgrade clogging and compaction, but in the case where LIDs must be used for construction stormwater detention due to site constraints, protection measures can be applied to prevent accumulated sediment from migrating into the subgrade when an LID is first being developed. This method would have to be outlined on the inspection sheet specifically to ensure construction inspection tasks include addressing its condition through all three sequences (Source: TRCA, 2019)<ref>]]

Construction inspections take place during several points in the construction sequence, specific to the type of LID BMP, but at a minimum should be done '''weekly''' and include the following:
