What to expect

The inspection timeline.

For a typical Bullitt County residential project, here is the inspection sequence:

  1. Footing inspection — before we pour concrete. Verifies depth + rebar placement.
  2. Framing inspection — after framing is up, before drywall. Verifies structural integrity.
  3. Rough-in inspections — electrical, plumbing, mechanical (HVAC). All three typically same week.
  4. Insulation inspection — after insulation is installed, before drywall.
  5. Final inspection — after all work is complete. Issues Certificate of Occupancy (CO).

Wilson Way's lead carpenter is on-site for every inspection. Average inspection: 30 minutes. No re-inspections on our projects.
