Inspections

Most owners think inspections are the builder's job to manage and theirs to wait for. That is exactly backwards. Inspections are your legal checkpoints throughout the entire build, and owners who show up unprepared miss problems that get closed in behind drywall permanently.

This course teaches you the full inspection sequence from footing to Certificate of Occupancy, the difference between a municipal inspector and a third-party inspector and what authority each carries, what your role is at every owner walk-through, and how to handle a failed inspection so it gets corrected without becoming a schedule crisis. Always verify specific inspection requirements with your local building municipality.
