Have all your permitting paperwork (stamped plans/orange placard/wastewater eng / catchment or well drawings right at hand. Have somewhere that you can spread them out if asked a question.

Are the inspectors "assigned" to the certain areas?

Yes. The name and phone number of your inspector should be on the stamped approved copies of your bldg plans.

Any situation that totally at the discretion of an inspector?

Nothing specific to add to this until you get your inspection. Some item he may say just get A/E to send letter. Wont know until inspection is done.

Everything you can share would be greatly appreciated.

Keep quiet.Answer asked questions politely, and briefly. Do not argue with them in field. You will not win. But you can say "Wow, I didnt know that. We did it like this because...." (again finish sentence briefly.)
