Gentlemen:
Resi 'rough' & comm too:
Spacing & check firewalls (if any)
Splices at all boxes, recept, switch, lighting (recessed & boxes), fan rated boxes, etc.
Grounds must be made-up, metal boxes bonded, jackets cut-back, etc
Neutrals on multi-wire made-up.

Some ec's make-up all splices, some don't.

Final means everything must be 100%. The cover issue? A judgement call, a phone call, or sometimes a red sticker, like Bob says.

BTW, personally I prefer to see all splices 'made-up'; my guys do it as SOP, comm, and what little resi we do.
