Preliminary

Walk-through inspections conducted before requesting a final inspection, after a building permit has been purchased through Harris County Engineering Department. These inspections help ensure that construction or renovation work is progressing according to code and safety standards before the final inspection. They provide an opportunity to identify any issues early, allowing for corrections to be made before the project is completed.

After Hours

Inspections scheduled outside of standard business hours, typically in the evenings or on weekends. These inspections are subject to prior approval before submission. The approval process ensures that resources, such as inspectors, are available, and that the inspection can be conducted safely and effectively outside normal working hours.
