San Bernardino County pioneered virtual inspections in California.

My department has decided to embrace virtual inspections.

This is the list of work that can be inspected with a phone:
water heaters
pad footings
smoke and carbon monoxide detectors (the people behind this don't know the difference between detectors and alarms)
window replacement
gas lines
re-roofs
sewer connections
temporary power poles
photovoltaic systems
patio/decks
demolitions
re-inspections
electrical panel changeouts
and my favorite.....HVAC changeouts.

I'm not surprised and this is the list at roll out ..... I figure that the list will grow. This should cut way down on the number of corrections given and as a consequence of that, work for managers. I'm hoping to work from the beach... on Maui.
 
Consider a Bluebeam connection to prevent mis-signing of approvals. Field photos can be attached.
