Inspections are required to ensure that projects are built following all applicable building and codes laws and standards. There are several inspections required throughout a construction project.
When your project is ready for an inspection, please call 24 hours in advance of the inspection.
When you call for an inspection, have the type of permit, the address of the inspection, and the floor of the structure or business name information available. If you are making a complaint, have the address and type of construction related activity observed.
