Steve, doesn't your building department have a hit list of "must inspect" items? A lot of agencies have a prioritized list of things which must be inspected (especially when times are hectic) and evaluations of the inspectors are based on how well they catch these items (or how badly they miss them!). I'm thinking that even if the inspection duties are outsourced, that there would still be a laundry list given to them so that their priorities matched your prioritites.
