Inspections

After obtaining a building permit, construction work may begin. Inspections are required before any work can be covered or concealed. Construction is not approved until it has been inspected and accepted by inspection staff. It is the responsibility of the contractor or the owner to schedule all required inspections.

How to Request an Inspection

Inspection requests must be made prior to 4:00 pm on a City business day in order for the requested inspection to be scheduled for the following business day.

To schedule an inspection, please complete the Online Inspection Request Form found at the bottom of this webpage. A confirmation email will be sent once the inspection has been scheduled.

  • Inspectors do not set appointments. Your inspection timeframe is given as a courtesy. Our Inspectors aim to arrive at your job site within the given timeframe.
  • Inspection delays may occur due to weather, traffic conditions or unforeseen issues at other inspection sites.
  • If no one is at the job site to meet with the Inspector, the Inspector will not conduct the inspection and the inspection will need to be re-scheduled.
  • If Inspectors are unable to complete all scheduled inspections, the uncompleted inspection(s) will be carried over to the next business day.
  • A re-inspection fee may be assessed when work is not ready, inspection card and/or approved plans are not available, no access has been provided or there is any deviation from the approved plans.
