In this episode of Custom Built, we’re demystifying one of the most daunting parts of a renovation: permits and inspections. If the mere thought of dealing with your local jurisdiction makes you want to hide, this conversation is for you. I’m pulling back the curtain on the entire process to show you why it’s a powerful tool for your project’s success, not just a bureaucratic hurdle.

I’ll walk you through the typical inspection sequence—from foundation and framing to MEPs (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) and finals—so you know exactly what to expect and when. More importantly, I’ll share how a great builder strategically plans for these milestones to keep your timeline on track, and why a contractor who hesitates to pull permits is a major red flag. This episode is all about transforming your view of inspections from a source of stress to your greatest safety net.

If you want the peace of mind that comes with knowing your home is built safely, correctly, and with a clear paper trail, this episode will give you the confidence to navigate permits like a pro.
