Inspection steps for home projects
How homeowners can plan for inspections during a permitted project.

Inspections may occur at rough-in, framing, insulation, final, or other stages depending on the project. Homeowners should clarify sequence before work starts so covered work is not closed prematurely.
Checklist

- Ask who schedules inspections.
