Inspections help make sure work is following the approved plans, is done safely and is to code. It is vital that inspections are done, as incorrect work or installations can result in house fires, flood damage and/or structural problems. They are required at various stages of a project, depending on the work that is being done. Please remember that legally a project is not complete until it has passed the final inspection.
