Outlines
📦 Picking Up Important Documents and Submitting Plans
The speaker has just collected essential documents, including the engineered floor layout, heat loss data, the plot plan, and their building plans. They are now heading to City Hall to submit their plans to obtain a building permit. The process usually takes 10 working days, which gives them time to organize contractors and pricing. The speaker is excited to begin the project.
🛠️ Building Permit Acquired – Starting the Project
After submitting their plans, the speaker successfully obtains the building permit, a crucial step before starting construction. They emphasize the need for various inspections throughout the construction process, conducted by the building department. The first inspection to be called for is the footing inspection.
🚧 Footing Inspection – The First Step
The speaker explains the importance of the footing inspection, which occurs after the house has been excavated and the footing has been laid by the concrete forming contractor. Before pouring the concrete, the inspector checks that everything is correctly positioned. This is the first required inspection.
🏠 Waterproofing and Weeping Tile Inspection
The next required inspection is the waterproofing and weeping tile inspection. After the basement has been waterproofed and the weeping tile and stone are laid around the footing, the inspector ensures that this critical part of the foundation has been correctly installed.
🚽 Plumbing, Heating, and Electrical Inspections
Once the house is framed, the speaker notes the importance of calling for inspections of the plumbing, heating, and electrical systems. The inspector will come to check the plumbing rough-ins, and this must be completed before moving on to the next stage of construction.
🔨 Framing Inspection – Structural Integrity Check
The framing inspection follows, where the inspector checks the structural components of the house, including trust details, the floor layout, and the overall plan. It's critical to have these documents available, and the speaker emphasizes being present to address any issues that might require reinspection.
🌡️ Insulation and Electrical Inspections
Before the insulation can be inspected, the electrical contractor must complete and pass the electrical inspection. Once the house is insulated, the insulation inspection must be called. This ensures that all work is up to code before moving forward with the next phases of construction.
🛠️ Inside Sewer and Final Inspections
After plumbing and insulation, an inside sewer inspection is required before pouring the concrete basement floor. Once all these steps are completed, the house can be drywalled, and a final inspection will be necessary to approve the finished project.
🏡 Final and Mechanical Inspections – Closing the Project
The final inspection checks the overall completion of the house. Some municipalities may also require a mechanical inspection for the heating system. The speaker advises that upon receiving the building permit, a list of required inspections will be provided to guide the process.

Transcripts
all right so uh i've just picked up all
our packages from the trust company the
engineered floor layout the heat loss
and the plot plan and along with our
plans and don't forget your check
because they're going to want to check
at the city we're on our way down to
city hall right now to submit our uh
plans to get our building permit so once
we've submitted that it's generally
going to take five sorry 10 working days
to get our plans back so that gives us a
little bit more time to get some of our
contractors and pricing down and i'm
really looking forward to this and i
can't wait to start great
okay so we've just come from the
building department at our city and i
picked up the building permit here it is
right here so once you have the building
permit at hand you can go ahead and
start the house now at this stage i want
you to be aware that there's going to be
inspections from the building department
at different stages of the construction
of the house now the first i'm going to
go over
at what stage you need to call the
inspections uh usually you're generally
in most municipalities you need to call
the day before your inspection or the
morning of the inspection okay so keep
that in mind now the first inspection
you need to call is the footing
inspection
so when the house is excavated and your
footing contractor your concrete uh
forming contractor comes in he lays out
the footing in the house in the basement
now before you put in the concrete you
need to call for that inspection so the
inspector is going to come out on the
site check the footing make sure it's
done properly and that's one stage now
the next inspection you need to call
is the waterproofing and the weeping
tile around the foundation
now that's done once the house is
waterproof the basement is waterproof
you put the weeping tile around the
footing and you stone the footing and
that's the next inspection so that's
called the waterproofing and weeping
tile inspection okay the next inspection
is the plumbing inspection now once the
house is framed
you call it call for your roughins your
plumbing
uh your heating
and your electrical and once the
plumbing is done
the inspector will come and he'll do the
plumbing inspection
the next inspection is the framing
inspection so you need to call the
building department again set up the
framing inspection now during the
framing inspection the inspector is
going to want to see your trust details
your floor layout
and also a copy of the plan so make sure
you have all those with you and at each
inspection you have to be there
to go over
any deficiencies or anything that the
inspector may require that you've
overlooked or maybe one of your
subcontract tractors
have overlooked and you need to get it
reinspected if he notices something that
still has to be done okay so
the next inspection is required is the
insulation inspection now but before you
do the installation inspection your
electrical contractor will call for an
electrical inspection now the electrical
inspection has to be completed before
you start insulating your house
so once that's done you go ahead and
insulate the house you call for the
insulation inspection okay
and
during the construction after the house
is framed and after the plumbing
inspection is done your sewer contractor
when he completes the sewer in the
basement prior to pouring the concrete
on the basement floor
he or you will call for a sewer inside
sewer inspection so that also has to be
done
okay and
after the installation inspection and
after the sewer inspection
you can go ahead and drywall the house
and complete the house and once the
house is completed then you need to call
for a final inspection okay there's one
another inspection um in most not all
municipalities but some municipalities
you may require a mechanical inspection
to go over your heating system so
when you pick up your building permit
they will also give you a list which i
have in here of all the inspections that
need to be called in and when doesn't
tell you when but when they're uh
scheduled
to to be brought in
okay
so
that's the inspection process so i'm
going to be going over that at each
stage when i'm building the house to
show you when i'm calling all right
thanks
