What does “Inspections (In Construction)” mean on a building permit?

Your permit is issued and the project is moving through its construction inspections. Each stage of work (excavation, foundation, framing, electrical, plumbing, roofing, mechanical, final, etc.) must be inspected and approved before you cover it up and move on. Portals surface this as scheduled/requested inspections and inspection results rather than a single 'inspections' status, but functionally the permit is in active construction.

What should you do when a permit shows “Inspections (In Construction)”?

Schedule each required inspection through the portal (or app/phone) as you finish that stage of work, and do not conceal completed work before it is inspected. Failed inspections trigger re-inspection fees and must be corrected and re-inspected. After the final inspection passes, the permit moves toward 'Finaled' / 'Permit Finaled'.
