When do I need to request a footing inspection?
Request a footing inspection when all trenches are excavated, all grade stakes are installed, reinforcing steel and supports are in place and appropriately tied, all necessary forms are in place and braced, and before any concrete is poured. Soil and erosion regulations must be in place at this time.
