The structure while every bolt and fixing can still be counted.
Tie down bolts missing from the bracing is the single most repeated frame finding we hold for Marsden Park, recorded four times across these jobs. Alongside it: bearing at supports needing attention, fixings missed, a jack stud, plate overhang and a connection to check. The pattern is fixings rather than materials, which is what you would expect from a suburb building at pace.

1Bored piersAfter boring and cage placement, before concrete
2Slab pre-pourThe day before the pour, steel and formwork complete
4Lock-up (pre-plaster)After roof, cladding and external doors, before plaster
5FixingAfter mouldings, doors and joinery, before the painter
6WaterproofingAfter the membrane is applied and before any tile is laid

The continuous run of fixings from roof to wall to slab resisting uplift. Each link is nominated in your engineering, and a missing bolt breaks it at that point.
Two to three hours single storey, longer on a double storey where the upper frame must be reached safely.
A member that is not fully bearing on its support is carrying load through a smaller area than designed, which concentrates stress where nobody intended.
Generally yes, since these cost little at frame and a great deal to argue about later.
Yes, at lock-up, and each is recorded as complete, part complete or outstanding.
The engineering for your lot together with the tie down schedule.
