Virtual Inspections a quick and convenient option
Save time and trouble with a convenient Virtual Inspection of your home project. Some permit holders can schedule a convenient and less-intrusive inspection using their smartphone or tablet, with Skype, Facetime, or another web-based site. See if your home project may qualify. Virtual inspections reduce wait times for re-inspection of minor corrections. Contact your inspector to see if you can get out your device, your flashlight and tape measure, and take a virtual look at your home improvement project.
