These inspections are for a major addition or new construction. Smaller remodels will probably not require seven inspections. Check with your local building department for their procedures. Ultimately, they are the authority having jurisdiction over your work.

*In the real world the rough inspection comes after the diaphram(close-in) inspection. To see an actual inspection procedure from an actual inspection department go to: Sonoma County, CA
