Important notice to homeowners, builders and contractors
The Frederic Township Building Department Inspector, in accordance with the
Code of the State of Michigan and the Ordinance of the Township of Frederic,
must inspect all building projects in the logical and sequential order in which they
are listed below:
1. Footing Inspection: After footings are formed & before concrete is
poured. Basement requires footing inspection and basement wall
inspection which is done after the blocks are laid and before backfilling.
2. Rough Inspection: Before walls are enclosed or insulated. Rough
inspections by mechanical, plumbing and electrical inspectors must be
complete and documented.
3. Final Inspection: When construction is complete and before building is
occupied. Final inspections by mechanical, plumbing and electrical
inspectors must be complete and documented.
A Certificate of Occupancy must be issued before building is occupied.
The permit holder has the responsibility to ensure that inspections are made when
required and should inform any contractors involved of the inspection
requirements.
The Frederic Township Building Inspector will make every effort to inspect your
project in a timely manner. However, if it is not possible to inspect upon your
immediate request and within your immediate time schedule, it does not mean that
you may continue building.
To continue building beyond an inspection level, prior to that inspection, will
cause a STOP WORK order to be placed on your building project until that
inspection can be properly performed.
I have been informed of the above state Inspection Policy.
