S.C. Code Ann. § 5-25-320: Inspections and certificate of compliance.

As the construction of any building progresses the inspector shall make as many inspections as may be necessary to satisfy him that the building is being constructed according to the provisions of this chapter. As soon as the building is completed the owner shall notify the inspector, who shall proceed at once to inspect the building and determine whether or not the flues and the building are properly constructed in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. If the building meets the requirements of the provisions of this chapter, the inspector shall then issue to the owner of the building a certificate which shall state that he has complied with the requirements of this chapter as to that particular building, giving a description and the locality and street number, if numbered.
