The job of the building department is to enforce the building code. I am not aware of any code provision that allows them to delegate that task to others such as special inspectors.
If the building department inspector does not have the time to do his work his should not be used as an excuse to try to make it somebody else responsible.
With regards 3rd party inspectors, the contractor is not allowed to hire special inspectors.
