The Building Official completes the typical following inspections during construction:

  • Footing or pier inspection before concrete is poured.
  • Footing drains and waterproofing inspection before back filling foundation.
  • Underground plumbing/minimum 10' head or 5 lbs maximum.
  • Concrete floor prior to pouring - 6 mil poly to be installed under slab.
  • Rough framing/Fire stopping inspection.
  • Rough plumbing inspection.
  • Rough electrical inspection.
  • Rough heating/cooling inspection.
  • Insulation inspection, after all roughs inspection (building must be waterproof before insulating, i.e. all roofing, siding and windows installed.
  • Electrical service inspection.
  • Certificate of Occupancy  or Acceptance
Rather than make separate trips for each of the above inspections, the Town will endeavor to consolidate several inspections into one trip at each site, especially rough framing, electric, plumbing, and heating.
