After the completion of all rough-in installations, the project manager initiates the inspection process by contacting the local building department. This involves submitting requests for plumbing, mechanical, gas, framing, and electrical inspections. A crucial aspect of this step is understanding and adhering to the city's inspection lead times and availability. The video highlights that electrical inspections, for example, might require up to two days. This necessitates scheduling 'no work days' where construction activities cease, ensuring that inspectors have full and safe access to all areas without interference. This planning prevents delays and potential re-inspection fees due to inaccessible work or ongoing construction. Clear communication with the city inspectors and careful documentation of appointment times are vital.
