font-family: Calibri;\">There are very specific times during the process of building a new home that the inspections are made and the work is inspected which then must pass or exceed the building codes.<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">The first inspection is made is just prior to the footings for the concrete walls being poured.<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;

font-family: Calibri;\">Following that is an inspection of the plumbing, HVAC and electrical.<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">Once the approval of this work is completed the home is ready to insulate.<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">Approval of how the insulation was installed and how much is in place must occur before the next step of dry walling the interior walls will be allowed.<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">Lastly at the very end of the home build the inspector comes back to make absolutely sure that everything has been built to code and only when he or she is satisfied that all is correct an occupancy permit is issued allowing the home to receive occupants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3097 aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cobblestone-bldrs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Inspection-Passed.jpg\" alt=\"inspection-passed\" width=\"299\" height=\"278\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3097 aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/cobblestone-bldrs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Inspection-Passed.jpg\" alt=\"inspection-passed\" width=\"299\" height=\"278\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;
