An inspection booked at the right stage helps keep electrical work visible when it needs to be reviewed. For a new house, commercial building or addition, start by discussing the required inspection sequence with your permit authority, electrician and inspector.
Plan the sequence before covering the work
The exact stages depend on the project and local requirements. Ask about underground or slab-related work before backfilling or pouring, and about rough-in before insulation or drywall conceals wiring.
- Underground or slab-related review, where required
- Rough-in while the relevant work is accessible
- Service equipment and utility coordination
- Final inspection of the completed scope
What to send when requesting a visit
Include the full property address, municipality, permit information, project type, electrician's contact and current construction stage. Tell us about an upcoming cover-up date or utility appointment, but wait for a confirmed inspection time before scheduling around it.
Rough-in and final are different milestones
A rough-in review concerns work that may later be concealed. A final review addresses the completed installation within the agreed scope. Completing one stage does not automatically approve the others or authorize occupancy.
If a correction is needed
The written findings explain what needs attention. Have your electrician complete the corrections and arrange any required reinspection. Do not conceal the affected work until the necessary review is complete.
Confirm local acceptance before booking
Permit and utility requirements vary. Ask the relevant authority whether our inspection is accepted for your particular project. We will help clarify the requested scope when you call.

Inspection fees and timing depend on the work, location and number of visits. Call (716) 224-0700 or send the project details. We confirm availability directly; the form does not book an appointment automatically.
