"Definitely pays to double-check early on."
True, but honestly, inspectors can change their minds no matter how much prep you do. I've had projects where everything was pre-approved, then suddenly they wanted extra fireproofing halfway through. Sometimes it's just luck of the draw...
Yeah, inspectors can be unpredictable sometimes...been there myself. If your permit got denied, here's what I'd do next: first, calmly ask for specifics on why it was rejected—sometimes it's just a minor detail you overlooked. Then, adjust your plans accordingly and resubmit ASAP. If they're suddenly asking for extra stuff (like fireproofing), document everything clearly so you have proof of what's been agreed upon. Saves headaches later if they change their minds again halfway through. Good luck!
Had a similar issue last year—turned out the inspector just wanted clearer drawings. Once I resubmitted with better sketches, it sailed through. Definitely worth double-checking exactly what they're hung up on...might be simpler than you think.

Yeah, inspectors can be picky about the weirdest things. Had one hold up my project because the scale wasn't clear enough on the drawings—took me forever to figure out that's all it was. Once I fixed that, smooth sailing. You're probably closer than you realize, just gotta pinpoint exactly what's bugging them. Good luck!
Inspectors definitely have their quirks, but sometimes those quirks actually highlight important details we overlook. Had one inspector point out a minor discrepancy with my electrical layout—it seemed trivial at first, but later realized it could've caused issues down the line. Curious if anyone else here has caught something genuinely helpful from an inspector's nitpicking...or is it usually just bureaucratic red tape?
