How should I prepare for an inspection?
  • Complete the work prior to inspection to avoid automatic reinspection correction.
  • Reviewed (stamped) plans must be available on site.
  • Have all necessary provisions in place to grant access to buildings or portions thereof.
  • Have a positive attitude! Our inspectors are here to identify issues and, in most cases, offer solutions.

Your willingness to work with us on your project prevents delays, improves communication, and results in a project that meets your needs and will be part of what makes Cheney a safe place to live and work.
