Schedule a Construction Inspection
ATTENTION: West Metro Fire will not be performing construction related inspections from Tuesday November 26th – Friday November 29th.
Inspection Requests
- All users/applicants need to have an account on West Metro Fire Protection District's Contractor Portal.
- Currently the system only allows one user/applicant to be listed for a job/permit.
- If you are the General Contractor and will be managing the job and associated inspections you will need to have the job/permit moved to your acccount. If the job/permit is under the design professional or other applicants account then West Metro Fire will need an email from them requesting that the job be moved. The request should be sent to planreview@westmetrofire.org. The request should contain the following information: job/permit number, address, to whom the job needs to be assigned.
- Our normal inspection hours are from 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM, Monday through Friday.
- We do offer after-hour inspection requests (6:00 AM) by clicking the "blackout date/time" option when requesting your inspection through the contractor portal. Please be sure to leave all required information, including how the after hours inspection fee of $240.00 will be paid- prepay with credit card or check on site.
- Inspection requests must be received by 12:00 PM (noon) for the next business date option.
- While you are able to request a time when requesting your inspection, this is not guaranteed. The inspector routes his schedule after the 12:00 PM (noon) cut-off time and selects times based on their full schedule and all locations of inspection requests. You may leave a note in the comments box if a certain time is required, and the inspectors will do their best to accommodate.
- Inspections are self-assigned by the inspectors after our cut-off time of 12:00 PM (noon) the business day prior to the inspection requested date. You will not receive a confirmation email until the business day before the inspection. If you schedule days or weeks out, you will not receive confirmation until the business day before the inspection request date.
- The contractor is responsible to be at the job site ready for the requested inspection up to 1 hour before and 2 hours after the scheduled time.
- Mobile Eyes will generate a no-reply response to the requester with the anticipated arrival time once the inspector self-assigns. If the inspection needs to be moved to another date due to availability, the inspector will send a status log notice to the contact for the permit.
- Approved plans and permits need to be on site for inspection(s). Please refer to Page 2 of your West Metro Fire approved plans for requirements specific to the type of permit issued.
- To request cancellation of a requested inspection in the queue that has not been confirmed and assigned, you can send a written request to inspections@westmetrofire.org . Please include job number, property address, and date of inspection requested. *If your inspection has been confirmed and assigned, you can cancel the inspection from your contractor portal (there is a how-to video on the contractor portal main page*
- A $300.00 re-inspection fee will be assessed for a no-show.
BDA Grid Reports can be submitted by email for review to inspections@westmetrofire.org .
