Description

 


SBCA in conjunction with The City of Santa Barbara Building Inspection and Code Enforcement Department  present:


Collaborating with the Local Building Department for Successful Residential Inspections: 

The Contractor’s Guide to Passing Inspections the First Time


SBCA Members—if inspections are slowing you down, this is the session you don’t want to miss.

Join us for a 2-hour lunchtime master class with the City of Santa Barbara Building Inspections Department, designed to help you streamline the inspection process, avoid costly rework, and get to final sign-off faster.

With evolving regulations, tighter timelines, and increased scrutiny, inspections can quickly become a bottleneck. This session gives you direct access to the people on the other side of the clipboard—so you can understand exactly what they’re looking for and how to get it right the first time.

This is not theory—it’s practical, real-world guidance straight from City inspectors on what’s changing, what matters most, and how to keep your projects moving without unnecessary delays.

What You’ll Learn:

  • When to use On-Demand vs. Express Permits
  • How new inspection conditions impact final approval
  • What’s changed in the revision and permit tracking process
  • Best practices for scheduling and preparing for inspections
  • Key framing and final inspection requirements
  • Critical code updates (building, electrical, and site conditions)
  • What to know about fire zones, flood zones, and WUI requirements
  • The most common mistakes that lead to failed inspections

Bring your questions—this is a rare opportunity to engage directly with City inspectors and get clear, actionable answers that impact your day-to-day work.

Save time. Avoid rework. Pass inspections the first time. Join us!
