How many inspections are required?
Usually two inspections are required for most projects. However, your project may require more inspections. Check with your inspector if you are in doubt. Inspections are required before any of the wiring is covered with insulation, dirt, concrete, or any type of building finish.

When should I call for inspections?
- Rough-in inspections: (prior to installation of insulation or any other building finishes).

- All wiring that will be covered by any building finish shall have a rough-in inspection i.e. (walls, ceiling, floors or insulation).

- All outside wiring that will be buried shall be inspected for cable type, burial depth, size, location and so on.

- Final inspections: After ALL fixtures and ALL other electrical equipment is installed and completed.
