Failing an inspection isn’t just frustrating — it can delay occupancy, cost thousands in rework, and damage reputation. The good news? Most issues are preventable with the right contractor.
Here are the seven biggest mistakes we see across South Florida construction sites.
1. Overloaded Panels
Too many circuits on one panel leads to tripping and overheating. Always size panels correctly.
2. Missing GFCI/AFCI Protection
These prevent shock and fires — required in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor areas.
3. DIY or Unlicensed Work
Inspectors immediately spot inconsistent wiring or incorrect conduit fill. Always use licensed electricians.
4. Improper Grounding and Bonding
Poor grounding can cause fire hazards and failed inspections.
5. Non-Compliant Fire Alarm Wiring
Low-voltage fire alarm lines must be separated from power conduits — a frequent oversight.
6. Incomplete Documentation
Missing as-builts or test results automatically fail AHJ inspection.
7. No Permit or Expired Permit
Skipping permits means the inspection never counts — and can trigger fines.
