I would like to comment on the inspection process, first we need to understand why we have permits and inspections, insurance underwriters require cities and towns to enforce inspections so the cities can maintain their insurance ratings ( a good rating saves every on their insurance costs) we keep hearing big goverment requiring permits and inspections, no truth to that, all your government does is, operate a department to issue permits and arrange inspections, and do this on break even budget, not to create income, but operate the building inspection process, so if you have problem with codes or enforcement, don't complain about big brother, your rights, take your complaints to the insurance underwriters, and their stock and mutual companies that insure all our business and personal insurance property coverages.
My hope is everyone in the construction industry tries to learn more about it inspection process and how it benefits us all
