A failed inspection produces a written correction notice identifying the code provision violated and the correction required. Work on the affected scope is prohibited until the correction is made and a re-inspection is passed. The correct process: review the correction notice against the applicable code section; make legitimate corrections promptly; contest wrongly cited corrections through the AHJ’s code interpretation process (not passively comply with anything the inspector writes); call the re-inspection after corrections are made; pass the re-inspection before any subsequent phase proceeds. Inspection failures are normal — they exist because inspectors sometimes find conditions the crew missed, and because code interpretation sometimes differs between plan review and field inspection. What is not acceptable is covering work after a failed inspection or proceeding to the next phase before the current phase is resolved. RainFire Builders resolves all corrections before any downstream work proceeds and documents every correction and resolution in the project record.
