Building Inspections

During construction, periodic inspections are required to ensure construction is being done in accordance with the National Building Code. You are responsible for notifying the Building Inspector at least 2 business days before an inspection is required. For new homes, inspections at the following stages are mandatory;

• The excavation before footings are placed.
• After footings are placed.
• The site before commencing back-filling of the laterally-supported foundation, before a super structure is placed on the foundation.
• The framing, roof, plumbing and mechanical.
• Insulation and vapour barrier before wall framing is covered

Keep in mind that the National Building Code is only a minimum set of standards. Our inspections are not a substitute for the care you would normally take if you were doing the work for yourself or when hiring a contractor to complete your project.
