Inspection Details and Scope

Inspection location and unit identified

Record the address, unit number, floor, and area inspected.

Rough-in stage verified before drywall cover critical (required)

Confirm the inspection is being performed before insulation or drywall concealment.

Yes No N/A

Applicable permit and AHJ inspection status confirmed critical (required)

Confirm the work is under an active permit and ready for Authority Having Jurisdiction review, if required.

Yes No N/A

Box Placement and Device Rough-In

Outlet and switch boxes installed at intended locations critical (required)

Verify boxes are positioned per plan, layout, and room use.

Yes No N/A

Photo evidence (optional)

Box heights and alignment consistent

Verify box heights, spacing, and alignment are uniform and suitable for finish installation.

Yes No N/A

Boxes flush with finished wall plane allowance critical (required)

Confirm box depth and set-back account for finish wall thickness so devices will not be recessed or proud after drywall.

Yes No N/A

Boxes securely fastened and not loose critical (required)

Verify boxes are rigidly mounted and do not move when lightly tested by hand.

Yes No N/A

Box fill appears adequate for conductors and devices

Check that the box appears large enough for the number and size of conductors, devices, and internal clamps.

Yes No N/A

Required box covers, mud rings, or protective caps installed

Verify open boxes are protected from damage and contamination during the remainder of construction.

Yes No N/A

Wiring Methods, Cable Routing, and Protection

Cable type and conductor size match the circuit design critical (required)

Verify wire type, insulation rating, and gauge are appropriate for the intended circuit and load.

Yes No N/A

Cables routed neatly and without damage critical (required)

Check for cuts, kinks, crushed sections, or other visible damage to cable jackets or conductors.

Yes No N/A

Photo evidence (optional)

Cables supported and stapled at proper intervals

Verify cables are secured and supported in a manner consistent with the installation method and code requirements.

Yes No N/A

Cables protected from framing edges and penetrations critical (required)

Confirm nail plates, bushings, or other protection is installed where conductors pass through or near framing members.

Yes No N/A

Splices and junctions contained within approved boxes critical (required)

Verify all splices are enclosed in accessible, approved enclosures and not left exposed in wall cavities.

Yes No N/A

Cable routing avoids sharp bends and excessive tension

Check that conductors are not strained, pinched, or routed with bends that could damage insulation or terminations.

Yes No N/A

Grounding, Bonding, and Panel Rough-In

Grounding conductors installed and continuous where required critical (required)

Verify grounding conductors are present, properly routed, and terminated as required by the design and code.

Yes No N/A

Bonding connections appear complete at panel and enclosures critical (required)

Check that bonding jumpers and bonding means are installed where required for the service or distribution equipment.

Yes No N/A

Panel location accessible and working clearances maintained critical (required)

Verify the panel area is accessible and not obstructed by framing, stored materials, or other trades.

Yes No N/A

Panel and circuit identification in progress or installed

Confirm circuits are labeled or marked in a manner that supports final identification and commissioning.

Yes No N/A

Safety, Compliance, and Final Readiness

No exposed energized parts or unsafe temporary conditions observed critical (required)

Verify the area is safe for the walk-through and no energized components are exposed without protection.

Yes No N/A

Deficiencies documented with corrective actions

Record any non-conformance, deficiency, or required rework before drywall installation.

Yes No N/A

Photo evidence captured for notable deficiencies

Attach photos for any failed items or unusual conditions that need follow-up.

Yes No N/A

Photo evidence (optional)

Ready for drywall release critical (required)

Confirm the rough-in is acceptable for the next phase or identify remaining hold points.

Yes No N/A
