construction-house-plan
includes inspections by the city

Inspections are necessary for your construction-house-plan.

I made up a chart, making it easier to keep track of all our progress of the required inspections which the city mandated for us.

You need to get your city's requirements and inspection schedule. You can make a chart for yourself if you like, Whatever works for you in your project.

Needless to say, the city inspector will need to inspect the various stages of development of your housebuild. Do not go on until the inspector has given you the go-ahead, or you may have to pay a fine and redo things, thus costing you more.

The city will provide inspection information. Everything has to be inspected regularly in order to assure you and the city that your house is being constructed correctly. This is good, because you know that the work your subcontractors are doing is up to code and meets the expectations of the inspector.

The Inspector is your friend. If you don't like him, don't show it. You want to stay on his "better side". There may be times you need his advice, or you want him to drop by and see if "this or that" is being done right. As long as you are on good terms with him, he'll possibly do you a favor, or you may need to pay him $50 or so. The one person you don't want to cross is the Inspector.
