Commercial Inspection Schedule

The permit holder shall call 803-222-9495 to request periodic inspections of the work as it progresses. Commercial inspections are performed on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  A 48hr notice is required.


Work shall not progress beyond the point indicated in each successive inspection without first obtaining the approval of the Building Official. (Certain inspections can be simultaneously, however.) Any portions that do not comply shall be corrected and shall not be covered or concealed until authorized by the Building Official.


The following is an outline of the different types of inspections the Town of Clover provides and a schedule of when they are to be performed throughout the construction process as required by the International Residential Code.

1.      Preliminary Inspection
To be made before the issuance of a permit at the discretion of the Building Official.

2.      Footing Inspection
To be made after all footings are excavated, all grade stakes are installed, forms have been placed, all crushed stone, and all reinforcing steel with supports are tied and/or all welded wire fabric is installed, when required, and before any concrete is placed. The vapor retarder shall be installed prior to the inspection.

3.      Under slab inspection
To be performed after in-slab or under-floor reinforcing steel and building service equipment, conduit, piping accessories and other ancillary equipment or items are in place, but before any concrete is placed or floor sheathing installed, including the sub-floor. The plumbing and sewer service, and distribution lines and drains shall be left uncovered and ready for leak inspection. Drain lines must be filled with a 10' column of water.

4.      Foundation Inspection (raised foundations)
To be made after all foundation supports are installed. This inspection is to check foundation supports, crawl space leveling, ground clearances, and positive drainage, where required.

5.     Open Floor Frame Inspection (raised foundations)
To be performed after the foundation walls are up, the girders and bands are in place, the bolting/strapping is attached, and prior to installing floor decking. Any drainage system to be installed in the crawl space shall be present at this time. 

6.      Rough Frame Inspection

To be made after the roof, wall, ceiling, and floor framing are complete with appropriate blocking, bracing and fire stopping in place. To be made after all parts of the electrical, plumbing, heating/ventilation, or cooling system that will be hidden from view in the finished building are in place, but before any wall, ceiling finish, or building insulation is installed. Material storage shall not inhibit an inspection of all walls. The following items should be in place and visible for inspection:

a.     Pipes (waste pipes filled with water to a height of 10' or filled to the highest fixture / supply pipes pressurized)
b.  Wiring
c. 
Chimneys and vents
d.     Flashing for roofs, chimneys and wall openings
e.     Insulation baffles
f.  Bathroom vent ducts

Note: Gas systems to be tested at 10 psi.

7.      Lathe and Gypsum Board Inspection
To be made after the lathing and gypsum board, interior and exterior, is in place, but before any plastering is applied or gypsum board joints and fasteners are taped and finished.

Exception: Gypsum board that is not part of a fire-resistance-rated assembly or a sheer assembly.

8.     Fire Stop Inspection
To be made prior to concealing penetrations in fire-resistance-rated assemblies, or smoke barriers, from view.

9.      Insulation Inspection
To be made after an approved building framing and rough-in inspection, with all insulation and vapor retarders in place, but before any wall or ceiling covering is applied.

10.      Permanent Power Inspection
When all circuits have been completed, electric panel(s) completed, circuit breakers installed, lighting fixtures installed, receptacles and covers in place. Disconnects, HVAC equipment (can be delayed), etc. are installed and the house is ready for a power connection at the meter.

11.      Final Inspection
To be made when construction is essentially complete. When all appliances and plumbing fixtures are installed and HVAC systems are operable.


12.  Other Inspections

·        The Building Official may make or require any other inspections to ascertain compliance with the Building Code and other laws of the Town of Clover.

 

Note:   Concealment of systems or components prior to being inspected will result in extra costs to the contractor in removing the materials or hiring of specialty firms, such as engineers, to otherwise demonstrate compliance.
