Chuck, Rough Frame Inspections are SUPPOSED to happen here, but...well...sometimes...esp. if the builders are couz...well...
We bought a house with fully permitted & finaled addition, that we found did not have window or door framing for any of the doors & windows (inc. the remodel larger windows they put into the initial house...) (we found this out after the earthquake in 2006, when all of the new doors & windows failed in our newly purchased home...BTW earthquake damage is not cover in most insurance policies here & is a little harder to get from most carriers...)
So here, the permit & final are just pieces of paper. Some inspectors will have owner builders jump through hoops here...others...not-so-much... and licensed builders, it seems it all depends...
