The day of your inspection

On the day of your inspection make sure you have:

  • good cellphone service
  • proper lighting
  • that your camera rotation feature is working properly on your phone

When your inspection time arrives, the inspector will send you a meeting invitation by text. This text will contain a link to a VuSpex Go meeting.

Click on the link when you receive it. A pop up will appear asking if you want to open VuSpex. Select Open VuSpex.

The link will open the VuSpex app (you previously installed) and connect you to the inspector. During the inspection, move the camera slowly so the inspector can see the image clearly and allow the camera to focus when showing items such as breakers or rating plates.

The  virtual inspection will require views of the job, permit board, posted street address, and contractor’s vehicle with identification sign and license number. The inspector will give you instructions on what he/she wants to see.

Have the following items on site and available for viewing:

  • Permit Card

  • Stamped plans: “Reviewed for Code Compliance”
  • Florida Product Approval sheets and Manufacture’s Installation Instructions

Please also have a tape measure, flashlight, and screwdriver available.
