The man who heads building inspection for Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government says the modern building code covers a lot of ground. Bob Carpenter said that includes such things as natural disasters, looking for substandard building practices, and striving for safe sustainable buildings. Carpenter said each newly built house gets a going over.
“We inspect houses and commercial buildings here in Fayette County. And the homes, it’s a pretty all-encompassing. We do footer, foundations, framing inspection, insulation, energy inspections, and then final inspections,” said Carpenter.
