I was asked recently to give a short presentation on "How to pass a building inspection?"
Thought I would reach out, and see what you guys think.
So far, I have:
- Build a professional team emphasizing know-how and communication skills.
- Contact municipal planning and building teams early in the process.
- Submit detailed construction drawings.
- Obtain necessary permits.
- Prioritize egress, fire safety, ventilation, and general safety measures.
- Address any deficiencies before scheduling a re-inspection.
- Be organized and up to date with documents before, during, and after construction.
- Ensure the worksite is clean and safe, reflecting pride in your work.
- Contractor presence on-site is encouraged, but rarely required. Be mindful to respect the inspector's need for focus during inspections.
- Schedule required inspections promptly to avoid complications. DO NOT COVER!
- Arguing with a building official is like fighting with a pig in mud, after a while you realize the pig likes it.
Have I nailed it? what am I missing?
