What type of inspection is required for construction or work that needs a permit?

In construction and building projects that require a permit, the final inspection is a critical phase that ensures all work complies with approved plans, codes, and regulations. This inspection typically occurs after the project has been completed but before the building is occupied or put to use. During the final inspection, officials check various aspects such as structural integrity, safety features, and compliance with zoning laws to confirm that the construction meets all the necessary standards.

While preliminary inspections can take place at the beginning of a project to ensure compliance with initial plans, and routine inspections may occur at scheduled intervals during construction, the final inspection serves as the conclusive assessment that verifies the entire project adheres to required regulations. Continuous inspections could be focused on monitoring ongoing aspects throughout the construction but do not replace the necessity of a defined, formal final inspection that certifies overall compliance.
