Especially for Generator, Roofing, and Window Pros Who Are Tired of Playing the Waiting game

If you’re still relying on in-person building inspections, you’re likely bleeding time, losing profit, and slowing your crew down.

For most contractors, the inspection step looks like this:

• Crews finish the job
• Then wait for the inspector to show up
• Return for re-inspections
• Lose time, momentum, and margin

Virtual inspections (also known as remote or video inspections) fix that.

With platforms like Permit Rockstar, you can streamline permitting, automate plan reviews, and perform virtual building inspections — all from a single dashboard.

Let’s see how that plays out for real-world trades.

⚡ Generator Contractors: One Visit, One Approval

Generator installs are notorious for multi-step inspections:

• Electrical inspection
• Mechanical inspection (especially for gas pressure tests and rough-ins)
• Final inspection and sign-off

Traditionally, that means:

• Two to three inspector visits
• Multiple site mobilizations
• Techs waiting on site with nothing to do

With remote inspections, your team can:

• Complete the install
• Use Permit Rockstar to initiate a video inspection
• Show the gas line pressure test on live video
• Walk through the install with the inspector on-screen
• Get real-time approval

✅ That means fewer trips. Less idle labor. More jobs completed per week.

🪟 Window Contractors: Install, Inspect, Done — Same Day

Window replacements are simple — until they’re not.

Installers often get stuck when an inspector doesn’t show up on time, or reschedules for “tomorrow.” That delays closeout and payment.

Using video inspections:

• You finish the install
• Capture flashing, anchors, and weatherproofing via live video
• Get sign-off without waiting

🔧 Contractors using Permit Rockstar report completing full install + inspection in a single visit — with no callbacks, no paperwork, and no blown schedule.

🏗️ Roofing Crews: Skip the Inspection Delay, Cover Immediately

You’ve finished the roof. But can’t close it until the inspector signs off.

Now what?

• Wait a day (or two)
• Risk weather damage
• Pull your crew back to site
• Re-schedule based on inspector availability

With remote roofing inspections, you can:

• Capture your final install using a smartphone or drone
• Walk the inspector through the roofline
• Get approval within minutes

One mobilization. One completion. No exposed roof. No weather risk. No extra labor cost.

The Numbers: How Much Can You Save?

Here’s what virtual inspections save real contractors every week:

Generators 2–3 visits + idle wait vs 1 visit with video inspection $600–$900 per job saved.
Roofing: Weather delays + extra trip vs Same-day inspection + cover $1,000+ per project saved
Windows: Delay between install & inspection vs Close out same day $300–$700 per install saved

These are real-world savings, not theoretical fluff.
