If you choose to have an engineer certify any aspects of your job (re: the footing, wall, backfill, slab, etc.), please notify Planchek when scheduling these inspections with our team. This allows us to inform our inspectors and more adequately prepare for our site visit.

 

Additional, please note that vertical framing should not begin until you deliver the engineering documents for any earthwork (Footing, backfill, etc.) to the inspector.
