Lubbock, TX Building Safety: Building Inspections (2026)

09 sets out the inspection sequence for building permits in Lubbock. 093 once the permittee requests them. 082, happens after excavation for footings is complete and any required reinforcing steel is in place, with materials on the job unless ready-mixed concrete is used. 083, comes after in-slab or under-floor reinforcing steel and utilities are placed but before concrete is poured or the subfloor goes down. 009, before vertical construction continues past that point. 085, happens after the roof deck, all framing, fire-blocking, and bracing are in place, and the rough electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work is approved.

091 lets the Building Official order any other inspection needed to confirm code compliance. 093 requires the final inspection after all work required by the permit is complete, and that sign-off is what closes out the permit. Skipping a required stage, covering framing or slab work before its inspection, is treated as concealing work from the Building Official and can require exposing the covered work again for inspection.
