What has been your experience dealing with inspectors without a GC? Is that much of an issue? Inquiring minds want to know….

Not sdduuuude – but I’ll chime in.
We’ve done several smaller projects as owner builder – and one time critical piece after our first GC walked… Our experience was pretty straightforward for inspections. Call the city for inspection. They give a window of time they’ll be out w/in 48 hours. They inspect. If someone is there, they talk over the issues. If not – they write it up.
Our experience with both GCs was they weren’t even around for the inspection – my husband or I would talk to the inspector. So no value add, in our experience, when it comes to GCs and city inspectors.
For our smaller projects with no GC (but with permits) – the inspectors added good value – telling us exactly where the short fall was and helping brainstorm solutions.
FYI – this was city of San Diego, development services.
