Special Inspections (Philadelphia)

Hello BP,

The City of Philadelphia approved my drawings and issued me my zoning permit. I am now able to request my building permit(s). Is anyone aware of which special inspections are needed for new construction? I know the answer is somewhat subjective. As an example, if I know that underpinning is a part of the project, I'll need to select that option. However, are there standard special inspections for the typical residential building (i.e. Duplex, Roof Deck, etc.)?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

KC

I figured this one out, but I still wanted to post this for anyone else that may search the topic. The special inspections that would be needed were outlined in my proposal with the architect and engineer.
