Tracking Inspection Status

How to schedule and track inspections throughout your build.

When Inspections Happen

Inspections are required at specific points during construction:
- **Foundation** — After footings and before pouring
- **Framing** — After structure is complete, before closing walls
- **Rough-In** — Electrical, plumbing, and mechanical inspections before drywall
- **Insulation** — After installation, before drywall
- **Final** — Complete inspection before certificate of occupancy

Scheduling Inspections

Contact your local building department to schedule each inspection. Most departments require 24-48 hours advance notice.

What Happens if You Fail?

If an inspection reveals issues:
1. The inspector will note what needs to be corrected
2. Fix the issues
3. Schedule a re-inspection
4. Pass the re-inspection before proceeding

> WARNING: Never proceed with the next phase of construction before passing the required inspection. Work done over uninspected work may need to be torn out.
