North Carolina General Contractors Practice Exam

Which of the following is not included in a typical inspection performed by the inspection department?

1. Final Inspection

2. Building Framing

3. Site Plan Review

4. Fire Protection

The correct answer is: Site Plan Review

The correct answer identifies that a site plan review is not typically included in an inspection performed by the inspection department. Inspections generally focus on the physical construction aspects of a project, such as ensuring that the building meets the code requirements at various stages of construction, which includes final inspections, building framing evaluations, and checks for fire protection systems. The site plan review occurs earlier in the process and deals with the compliance of the proposed project with zoning laws, land use regulations, and other planning considerations rather than inspecting the actual physical attributes of the build. This stage evaluates whether the design adheres to submitted plans that may affect the overall development layout. Thus, it falls outside the scope of what inspection departments regularly do once construction has begun.
