The City of Carrollton conducts Pre-Construction meetings after you have received your construction permit. The city project manager will contact you to set up this meeting, held on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8:30 am.

This free meeting will bring together several Carrollton departments to help answer all your building questions concerning your project. You will receive a Pre-Construction manual to help guide you during construction to all building inspection services, including how to scheduling inspections using the IVR system, an automated phone scheduling system.

Contractors, please bring a construction schedule with milestones and an anticipated completion date.
