The Framing Inspection Checklist Every Charlotte Builder Should Know

Passing the rough framing inspection is a major milestone in any new residential build. Failing it brings the entire project to a grinding halt. To keep projects moving, builders need a framing subcontractor who builds to the code, not just to the blueprint. Here is a brief overview of the framing inspection checklist for new construction in NC.

Structural Integrity and Load Paths: Inspectors will rigorously check that all load-bearing walls are properly supported down to the foundation. This includes verifying that headers over doors and windows are correctly sized and that all point loads are transferred correctly.

Navigating Inconsistencies: It is actually uncommon to pass inspection on the very first attempt for a unique custom home, simply due to blueprint inconsistencies or utility interactions. A great framer proactively resolves these issues. At Dino Framing, we guarantee our framing will pass within the first three attempts, and usually by the second.

Fasteners and Hardware: Using the right nails is not enough; they must be used in the correct pattern. Inspectors will verify nailing schedules on shear walls and roof decking.
