For those picking on the building inspectors 1) The I-codes have gotten too big where no one that actually works for a living can possibly keep up. The rule should be if the ICC writes a new code, 10 need to be taken away. 2) Most area's don't pay their code officials near enough money. Why would someone that is qualified want to be a building official when they can make 2 or 3X the amount of money working in the trades or for an independent inspection agency. We are attracting the wrong people to the inspector industry. 3) special "local code requirements" should have to be approved by the trades, not only the AHJ so those meaningless requirements like the code box and green paper never make it to reality.
While I understand your frustration with certain aspects of building inspections and the challenges faced by building inspectors, it's important to approach this topic with a balanced perspective. While your points are based on personal experiences and opinions, it's essential to consider the broader context and available statistical data. Regarding the size of building codes, it's true that building regulations and codes can become complex and extensive over time. However, these codes are often developed and updated to address safety concerns, technological advancements, and evolving construction practices. While simplifying the codes may seem appealing, it's crucial to strike a balance between ensuring safety and accommodating practical implementation. Compensation for code officials can vary depending on the region and jurisdiction. While it's true that some areas may face challenges in attracting and retaining qualified inspectors, it's important to note that salary alone is not always the sole determining factor. Factors such as job security, benefits, and personal fulfillment in contributing to public safety can also play a role in an individual's career choices. Local code requirements are typically established through a collaborative process involving input from various stakeholders, including tradespeople, industry professionals, and the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ). The aim is to ensure that the codes reflect local needs and conditions. While disagreements can arise, it's important to have a balance between accommodating local concerns and adhering to fundamental safety standards established by national or international building codes. To gain a comprehensive understanding of the challenges faced by building inspectors and the impact of these factors, it would be beneficial to examine specific studies or data related to the industry. These sources can provide a more evidence-based perspective on the issues at hand.
Like He said General Overview. The Actual inspection would take much longer and he would have approved set of plans. And be reviewing all framing members for sizing, and spans etc. etc. and this video would be much much longer. Lol.
Idk how old or where there at but porches you need to have bolts going into the 6x6 to the rim and you need the l steal plates under the rim into the 6x6 just like you put in the rim to 6x6's
I am all about another pair of eyes on jobs but I always wondered how homes in Massachusetts that have been through many storms in their 200 years of being built are still standing on field stone foundations with no Simpson connectors?
@@bugtusslealien3931сносить такие дома дорого. Проще произвести реконструкцию самого каркаса. В те времена были обычные плотники которые имели представление о сопротивлении материалов и на материалах не экономили. Сейчас в эпоху ускорения и оптимизации компании очень сильно экономят материалы и время. Поэтому проще дом закрепить к фундаменту через пластины Симпсона чем делать закладные из дерева в каменном фундаменте. На самом деле пластины Симпсона, крыша состоящая из фермы, гибкие вентиляционные каналы с изоляцией очень очень сокращают время строительства. Спокойно можно через 100 дней получить полностью готовый дом. 200 лет назад на это потребовалось минимум полгода. Прогресс не стоит на месте , инженеры конструкторы идут в ногу со временем.
I'm retired now but I always wondered why building inspector's wouldn't or couldn't be consistent...for instance I seen over and over on track houses where scissor truss were used some of the framer's would not fire block the scissor gables into the attic and other framer's would...if an electrician nocked out one of those fire blocks the framer would have to fix it but on the houses that the framer's didn't install fire blocking it was ignored...these were all track houses and I seen it repeatedly...not just on occasion....once I asked the inspector about it and he said he didn't inspect the other house but it was his name on the sign off
Lets keep the permits on "green paper only in a sealed bag in a sealed box mounted on a 2 post 52inches above ground in sealed container in case the sealed container at the front of the property blows over in the rain wind". I'm a demarcate and I want to puke at how over regulated that is.
So, your better idea would to let the builder keep all the documents or some of the documents all printed on white so as to help camouflage the permit from all the rest of the paper in some undetermined container or no container and just leave it somewhere on the site or in his truck or in his office or better yet nowhere to be found for the inspector to try to find when he shows up. You obviously have never spent a day running work. There are rules ,standards and regulations for everything and everyone. Oh, except you I guess. Grow up.
It’s green so that you can clearly see it exists and can see it at a glance. The dual weatherproofing is so that the documents don’t get destroyed. He said “we like it to be”, not “it must be”. The only regulation there is the green paper, and it’s obviously there to make finding the required documents faster and easier.

Пришёл инспектор Произвел осмотр. Грубых нарушений не нашёл и ушёл. Что там ходить и докапываться до каждой мелочи? Каркас ровный и крепкий значит не рухнет.
Big government bureaucracy at its best How do you know what type of nails are used once installed,? Do you count the nails and spacing on everything? This is all because of the insurance lobbey In Florida ,after every hurricane, we have new rules Pretty soon, you need to be a millionaire to build a house. It's madness
You would be surprised of how much jacked up sh!t I see on a daily basis. 6/10 houses I inspect pass. I usually give a partial approval if the correction isn't too critical to the standing structure, like a missing BWP block on a joint or adding a strap on a CS-PF. I'll see it on the insulation insp. Most people that complain about codes either have no clue of what they are talking about or are sh!itty contractors.
I literally had a stroke trying to read that, but no it isn't. More often than not it's someone ignorance of code and that is on the inspector/ Building official to clearly identify, but up to the contractor to know how to put into practice. Pretty simple. If you don't know how to do something, ask!
2 sides to this. Obviously this is pretty extreme. However, in my area we either have no or irresponsible inspections, and subdivision houses are commonly sold with improperly sealed showers and windows, bad foundations and out of plumb walls. I looked at a new house ( on the market for sale) that had the yard sloped toward the house and the water and mud actually came in the front door in heavy rain.
The intent with (perhaps unintentional) excessive codes is to prevent failures under extreme conditions. However a tornado will shred a house filled with straps as easily as one without. These overt regulations are useless and compile over years as generations of bureaucrats add layer after layer of useless requirements and constraints that do nothing but drive up the cost of building and reduce access. For instance...a window installed under 24” can only open 4”... think about the reasoning behind that. It’s the nanny state run amuck. I built houses in the late 80’s and throughout the nineties. Those houses are still standing, they were built simply and required zero straps, reasonable engineering was applied (mostly by the contractor)... no one has died in these houses except by old age, and they will probably last longer then these homes that are loaded with engineered products.
I saw a concrete dome house get a big hole in it from a tornado. Sometimes, it just comes down to what is being hurled through the air. Hard to prevent a truck flying into your house. Doesn't matter what you build out of.
These things he is “inspecting” must have been addressed at the stage of plan approval. Why to bring up concerns of load transfer when the construction is finished. Is this a joke?
The fact that they have to be on green stock paper makes me think they may be focusing on the wrong things.
The purpose of required " inspectors" is to make those government employees to feel important like "officials."
Nonsense!
Right. And someone colorblind wouldn’t be able to see the green paper
Ahah new that inspector wasn’t headed into the crawl space 😂
I think the inspector went in he just didn't take the camera crew.
brain, blink twice if you are being held against your will
Accessibility and lighting? It's a huge crawlspace and you have a flashlight
Very helpful. I’ll be building next year and acting as my own GC. Thank you!

Holy stud pack. Isn't that a bit overkill for a 2 storey house. That 8 stud pack can lift the whole weight of the house.
Yea that's hard core. Even in Minnesota where the codes are strict, that is not required.
I just read they are in NC, probably for hurricanes?
Great thermal bridge as well

Obviously, you've not worked on many construction sites/projects.

The inspector should be ashamed of himself. In Canada fire stop is required only when the cavity is greater then approx. 10'0"
In Canada
More wood to block fire, brilliant!
longer burn time lol
It’s not about wood burning it’s about stopping fire from easily moving to other parts of the home.
“Fire blocking “is a misnomer but is the term most of us use,actually it is “Draft Stopping” to slow down flame spread
Used to be that fire blocking was only used in balloon framing. I don't see the reason for it in a platform framed house.
@@jimmierandall9571 Both Fire Blocking and Draft Stopping are terms used by Building Codes. And confused by trades frequently. Lol.
