What inspections are required?
Because construction projects vary greatly as to their type and scope, no one set of guidelines can offer in-depth detail of the inspection process for all projects. A basic room addition requires footing; foundation; rough-in; insulation; and final inspections; in that order. Details of the required components for each of these inspections are listed in the NC State Building Codes. Additionally, information identifying the readiness of projects for inspection and how to schedule inspections is listed in the publication “One and Two Family Dwelling Construction Policies & Inspection Procedures”. Authorization must be obtained from the Code Enforcement Officer after each inspection to proceed to each subsequent step of construction.
