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, respectively. Details of the required components for each of these inspections are listed in the North Carolina State Building Codes. Authorization must be obtained from the Code Enforcement Officer after each inspection to proceed to each subsequent step of construction.
