In this video I go over the building inspections for a new construction home. Building inspections are a very important part of the building process that are to be taken serious. Failure to pass these inspections could result in costly repercussions. Check your local building codes BEFORE starting any construction project. Enjoy!

You have the heart of a teacher brother. One of the best RU-vid channels out there. You have taken a complicated and intimidating process and explained it perfectly. Thank you for all you do ❤️🤙

@TheExcellentLaborer 2 года назад

I appreciate that Todd! I truly enjoy making videos for RU-vid. My favorite part is knowing people appreciate the content. Thanks a lot Todd!

I had a remodel once that didn't have an outlet to the right of the sink because of heating duct work that was in the only two cavities, then the stove was next in line. The inspector understood the issue being an original layout from day one from 1983 when the house was built. Always good to have an understanding relationship with inspectors. Thank you for sharing your area of how inspections go. Happy Easter to you Josh.

@TheExcellentLaborer 2 года назад

Hey David! It is interesting how outlet placement can be expected to be placed in those awkward areas. Even though the outlet may never be used as long as it meets code is all that matters. Yes it is very important to have a good relationship with the inspectors. They can make or break your job if they want to. I appreciate you watching. Happy Easter to you too!

The reason to include the framing inspection after the duct, electrical, and plumbing rough in is because those trades will drill through the framing. If they do so incorrectly (i.e. too close to the edge on I-Joist or too big of a hole on load bearing walls) it will need to be corrected. There would hopefully be a way to correct it by adding additional framing (also known as scabbing).

@TheExcellentLaborer 2 года назад

Good point Jonathan. I did not think about subcontractors drilling through joists in wrong locations etc. Thanks for your input!

@tszymk77 2 года назад

Just a minor thing: In part "2) Foundation" you wrote "seal plates" - it should be sill plates.

@symcardnel1741 2 года назад

Funny... I thought his referring to 'seal' plates was related to the yellow foam moisture barrier 'thing' that sits between the sill plate & the concrete foundation 3:45.

@jessequentin4441 2 года назад

I caught that too! I'm pretty sure it's just that southern drawl, "sill" is pronounced "seal"

@tszymk77 2 года назад

@@jessequentin4441 When I saw that I immediately heard a seal noise in my head - been watching Taryl Fixel All channel and every time he says seal there is a seal noise and every time he says spring there's a boink.

@TheExcellentLaborer 2 года назад

I caught that too after I uploaded it. If you look at the link for the video I made on how to install sill plates is clearly a mistake on when I wrote it on the board. Good catch!

@namehidden8854 2 года назад

Vs., in WA state: 267 inspections and you still can't get the house done because final report is "5 years from being reviewed" for 50 years.

@TheExcellentLaborer 2 года назад

Wow! That would drive me crazy. Glad I don’t build there 😄. Thanks for watching!

I’m drawing plans now for a wood working workshop (30’x40’). It will be level with my patio and the yard slopes downhill from there. I will pour footing of 12” below grade (Arizona no frost line) but would like a monolithic pour instead of stem wall and concrete slab. Slope is 18-20” is this something you’ve ever done? It will have proper setbacks. 8’ from patio roof 10’ from property line. No plumbing or air ductwork. Everything needs to be on the same plane as I’m in a wheelchair.

@TheExcellentLaborer 2 года назад

Hey Bill! I have not poured a monolithic style slab before. I have only done footers and then the block foundation on top of that. That’s a good question to ask your planning office to see if that will work. Sounds like you got a big building ahead of you. Hope everything goes well with your project!

@billboy7390 2 года назад

@@TheExcellentLaborer i’ll ask the planning office, they’re not so busy they can’t answer a few questions and I live in a fairly small rural town but there has been about 10000 new home permits issued over the last 18 months.

Would you be able to do a full detail plumping and electrical (whole house) videos? From A to z? For every room and connection?

@JoeSmith-kn5wo Год назад

Looks pretty cool to build your own house, but looks like a lot to know.

@TheExcellentLaborer Год назад

It is rewarding to build your own house but yes you do need to know a lot to do all of the work yourself. A good middle ground is to find subcontractors that know all the technical details. I hope that helps!

@pennyweigel2869 Год назад

Aloha, we built a home in Hawaii 25 years ago and the plumbers didnʻt hook anything into the main until after the wallboard was on inside.. I thought this was backwards at the time... yes? When should have the connected? Same with power, the light fixtures and outlets were in and the wall board was up.

@videogame1291 2 года назад

How do you calculate or estimate the amount of materials it'll take to build the house completely? Is it part of the blueprints? And I assume once you know how much material you need it's easy to calculate how much the whole build will cost

@tallpaul8880 2 года назад

How long do you usually take to build a house on average? I’m getting ready to start my own build. Thanks for the videos. They are very helpful. ✌🏻🇺🇸

@symcardnel1741 2 года назад

Hey Siri & Google... how long does it take to build a single-family home? "around 7 months" The 2014 Survey of Construction (SOC) from the Census Bureau shows that the average completion time of a single-family house is around 7 months, which usually includes around 25 days from authorization to start and another 6 months to finish the construction.

@TheExcellentLaborer 2 года назад

It takes me about a year working mainly by myself per 1500 ft.² I do have a job to where I can work for four days a week on the house. Thanks for watching!

@Stop_the_cap311 11 месяцев назад

Hey man awesome video. I have a question, I am a little confused on the framing permit for an interior renovation project. I always call for a wall cover inspection and then cover my walls after electrical rough in passes inspection. Do I not need to call a wall cover or ceiling cover inspection. Pay permit says framing inspection. I am also demo the ceiling grid and installing new. Shouldn’t my permit have ceiling cover inspection?

@varun_singh Год назад

Hi may I know when will be roof will be inspected in the process?

@justinovitt6720 2 года назад

Just wondering is there a roofing inspection.

@TheExcellentLaborer 2 года назад

Not a special inspection for that here. Hope that helps!

Where do I get insurance as an owner builder and what type of coverage do I need ?

@TheExcellentLaborer 2 года назад

I get homeowners insurance with builder liability attached. I hope that helps!

How long does it usually take you to build a house start to finish?

@TheExcellentLaborer Год назад

Before I started RU-vid in my building it would take me about a year to build a house. Now that I am making videos and building it takes twice as long. I hope that helps!

@StallionFernando 2 года назад

Ever built a brick house?

@TheExcellentLaborer 2 года назад

A brick faced house. It’s the same concept as a fully bricked house.

@symcardnel1741 2 года назад

Thank the good Lord for our super-efficient, effective, and highly competent massive Governmental agencies and bureaucracies... otherwise we might NOT have 16 required inspections to make sure a single-family home isn't built by the equivalent of a governmental bureaucrat.

@TheExcellentLaborer 2 года назад

Yes they could definitely have better systems in place that’s for sure! All we can do is go with it and hope for the best. I’m capitalist and want free markets. Thanks for watching!
