The county doesn't do the inspections, they only have 4 inspectors.

A private firm has about 20 that do the work, now I know you may think well they must let let slip by.

Not at all I've seen them in one new build giving one of the subs some isssues he needed to change.

On my pool & pergola they pulled the plans went over a lot of questions, in fact they made recommendations.

2nd inspection was quicker but they were nit pickers about the elec grounds around the pool being tied into the rebar, it all passed.

In general on a scale of 1-10 I rate the builds here I rate the construction a 8.5 to 9.

THe best part is U have a year to get anything fixed, and that dept is excellent, I gave them over 30 items, very satisfied.

I still have 6 months to find & report anything.
