It is very rare for an inspector to require us to be onsite for an inspection, but I had it happen to me today. We installed a camera system (I discussed this in another thread) and the inspector went out to take a look, but would not sign off until we went to the site, took down two ceiling tiles for him and showed him the wire.
luckily this was not a bidded job, so we will just tack on two hours of labor or so to cover drive time and playing tour guide. Oh, and he glanced at the strapping etc and signed off. No big deal.
Just curious to know how you guys handle this situation. This time it was not too big a deal, but I can see future jobs where we have no one available and the thing will not get signed off... that may cause challenges with the customer.
