Here’s a simple procedure for working with your engineer to get your foundation (no matter how big or small) inspected & certified so the “City” will give you your “Certificate of Occupancy” and close your project:
- Find a Structural Engineer who performs Structural Inspections (Yes, we perform Structural Inspections!).
- Hire the Engineer before your pour concrete if possible.
- If you do not have a foundation design, get one. You’ll probably save some money in the long run.
- Email your foundation sketch to the Engineer (if you do not have a drawing or sketch, that’s OK, but if the engineer gets to your site and determines the foundation violates code, the engineer must make a repeat inspection for added fees).
- Schedule your engineer to inspect your foundation (big or small).
- Request the engineer to provide you with the “Standard Engineer Letter” and send it to Development Services so you can get your “Certificate of Occupancy” and close your permit.
