Advice Needed: Failed to do pre-pour foundation inspection

Michael H.

Posted

This is my first large renovation where we are adding an addition to the back patio and new attached garage (in Dallas).

We had an engineer do a foundation design and hired a concrete company to form the foundation based on the design. We have a building permit in place for the remodel. However, unfortunately, we did not do a pre-pour inspection and now the city left me a message (after we called in for inspection of the electrical) asking why I didn’t get an inspection for the foundation?

It’s an honest mistake and I am not sure how I should respond? Breaking out the concrete just for them to inspect it might be tough as we already framed the garage and walls in the addition. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
