New Construction inspections or Phase Inspections as they are sometimes called are becoming more popular due to the fact that more people now know that they are available. This type of inspection insures that the building is being built to the local codes.
Phase inspections are genrally called for in each major phase of the construction process. Foundation, Pre-drywall and Completed or move in stage.
On average, at the pre-drywall phase or stage, I find 16 code violations after the county code official has inspected and declared the building ready to be covered. There are many reasons for this including but not limited to: insufficient time, training, no ladder use, no pulling of nails to check for the proper size and lack of ultimate responsibility to name a few.
