Pre-Construction Meetings

A virtual pre-construction meeting with Inspections Department is recommended to help avoid project delays by assisting contractors with the City of Irving's procedures for scheduling inspections and obtaining occupancy approval for your new project.

Pre-Construction Meetings with Inspections Staff (after permitting)

It is highly recommended that the general contractor schedule a pre-construction meeting with the Inspections staff prior to the commencement of work on the project. This meeting will be scheduled as a virtual (Zoom) call with city staff and is particularly important for those who have not worked in the City of Irving. It helps ensure that the City's expectations are clear to the general contractor, subcontractors, and the developer involved in the construction project. A meeting agenda will be provided to the participants in advance and will cover the following:


Overview of Project

A brief review of the scope of work included in the project will be discussed by the participants.


Inspection Responsibilities by Department

A discussion of the required additional permits and inspection responsibilities for work in the City's right of way, fire protection requirements, as well as traffic control.


Discussion of Inspection Schedule

A detailed walk-through of the required inspections will take place, which helps the general contractor and subs plan their work schedule. This will include scheduling of inspections and permitted hours of work.


Final Inspections and Certificate of Occupancy (CO)

Procedures for obtaining final inspections, temporary certificates of occupancy, and all CO inspections will be reviewed.


Attendees

The general contractor and all subcontractors should be on the Zoom call to ensure that all have a complete understanding of the City of Irving's requirements.
