Mega-Multifamily Team
About the Mega-Multifamily Program
Our Mega-Multifamily Inspections Team is a service stream that focuses on the specialized needs of our mega and multifamily customers.
This team was designed in response to changes in the local design and construction environment. A residential multifamily construction boom in the region, and specific changes to NC State building codes are becoming increasingly more specialized in the this type of multi-family occupancy.
To serve our customers better, Code Enforcement created the Mega-Multifamily inspections Team 3 years ago, on June 29, 2015, to focus on the most complex projects: those projects include High-rise office buildings; Institutional facilities (Hospitals and Detention Centers); Large Assembly projects; and/or mid- to high-rise multifamily residential projects.
Mega-Multifamily inspectors will stay with a project from the first inspection to the final. They'll be more available to contractors and owner-developers, because their sole focus will be mega and multifamily projects.

Mega-Multifamily Customer Tools & Documents
Mega-Multifamily Permit Structure Templates
These permit structure templates are spreadsheets provided to assist our customers in the management and structuring of permits and inspections for large, multi-level projects that, by their design and nature, pose difficulties in the closeout and delivery of the project to the end client.
Large, complex projects bring additional considerations as well as the possibility of "phased occupancy" issued that can cause a simple Certificate of Occupancy to de delayed. The use of these worksheets is not required, but encouraged for all customers using Mega-Multifamily Inspections, as this tool can often help to avoid expensive delays and changes.
To use this template, download the linked Excel document to your computer. Important: Before beginning to work with the template, be sure to select your project type from the tabs at the bottom -- R1/High, R2/High, R2/Podium or R2/Wrap. For help with this template, please contact the Mega-Multifamily Inspections Team at 980-314-CODE.
