What is the process of a New Building Inspection?
The inspection of a new building is the lengthy portion of the new construction approval process. During plan review, the fire safety requirements are identified and inspected to determine if all components of the fire protection system, from fire-rated walls to sprinkler and alarm systems, are constructed and installed correctly. This process requires numerous visits from fire inspectors throughout the building process, along with cooperation between the fire inspector, the plans reviewer and the contractor. Once the building is complete, the fire inspector will determine that all fire safety aspects of the structure have passed inspection and a final approval from the Fire District will be granted.
