i work in commercial construction and as the super i handle the majority of the inspections, the only inspections i dont handle are fire sprinkler inspections, or fire alarm inspections. i am there for fire final inspections, but i am not exactly sure how to put the system in test and what the different read outs on the panel mean. i just leave the plans and permit card on some jobs that are pretty cut a dry like framing or rough elec, etc. if i am on a tight deadline i try to be at the inspection so if any little problems come up i can handle them right away and still get the inspection signed off.
inspectors can make or break you, if you rub them the wrong way they can make your life miserable. so i make it a point to talk to them about things they like, their hobbies, their kids anything other than the job so they come on the job and you ask how lil susie is doing or how the hot rod remodel or the hunting trip was etc etc. btw i have noticed a fair amount of inspectors are into either hunting or fishing
