How to prepare for an inspection visit
Failed inspections cost a day and your reputation.
- Confirm the date and who attends. Tell the customer if they need to be home.
- Check the permit is on site. Keep it where the inspector can see it.
- Walk the work yourself first. Look for open items against the plans.
- Clear access and clean up. Make panels, equipment and work areas reachable.
- Record the result. Photograph the signed card and note any corrections.
