Inspections

Mandatory Inspections

Construction may commence upon issuance of the building permit. Several inspections are required to ensure that all work is done according to the approved plans including changes noted by the plans examiner. Your building permit will include a list of the required inspections for your specific project.

Examples of construction stages when inspections are required include:

• Readiness to construct footings
• Completion of structural framing etc...

Inspections do not happen automatically. It is your responsibility to ensure that either you or your contractor contacts the City to request an inspection to ensure that your project proceeds as approved.

To book your inspections:

Contact Brenda Mercier at (705) 672-3363 ext. 4127 between 8:30 a.m. & 4:30 p.m. or by email. 

Note: legislation prescribes that all inspections will be conducted within two business days after receipt of the notice to inspect. The 2-day time period begins on the day after you call to request the inspection. Failure to have inspections performed may result in having to uncover and expose work for inspection.
