I do not know about your rules and regualtions of your communnal type
residential association or the politics of your state or governing body
responsible for building / electrical inspections.

Where I am, the electrical rules and inspections are governed by the
Province, although the national electrical code is the basis for the
provincial Code.
The building Inspector is a local guy enforcing local municipal Code based
on the Provincial building Code...LOL

When the electrical Inspector comes in he will inspect the wiring asked to
inspect. He doesn't care about structural building items or wiring that may
be existing, non-conforming. It's really not his business unless things get
politically dirty...maybe? He may make recommendations but unless he sees
something really, immediately, dangerous, he won't get involved. Just paying
the fee and calling him in they figure you are the consciencious type,
usually.

As far as map, sketches and plans, these things are really only for the
Building Inspector and Building Dept. of the Municipality. They would
involve structural soundness and asthetic issues for the neighbourhood look
and feel. Wiring is not usually wanted on the drawings nor is it used by
most electricians on the job. Industrial is usually the exception. I have
seen many people spend a lot of time making drawing for the electrician only
to have the guys on the job totally ignore it and do it "their way". This
usually works out better anyway after seeing room formation and determining
"Ergo" layout flow of the usage. Specific weird wiring quirks are the
exception for clarity.

"and closed up" means after the fictures are all closed up. This looks to me
like "childproofed". No open wiring or electrical contact points that
anybody could touch by accident.

When I "pushed" my third inspector to inspect my solar PV system he ran to
his vehicle, saying I hadn't paid for the inspection, to look at his
database. "Yeah, you have paid, it will he fine". He was more woriied they
got paid for it than looking at it. I had definite no-nos that he should
have jumped on me for. They look for knowledge and general attitude in your
work the they run to try to keep up with the clock, here.

YMMV

What do you mean by "and closed up"?

Most of the application for a "(Garage) Building Building" permit consists
of
"Maps, Sketches, and Other Exhibits: Applicant must attach appropriate
sufficient maps, sketches, and other exhibits, including a signed Homeowner’s
Association Affirmation of Notification.

I have 2 questions:

1) Are before and after SU documents, along with written summaries likely
to suffice for this?
2) Is my Homeowners Association likely to raise their head (for fear of all
the the outlets)? --Maybe I'll layout a SU document with buffers, fans,
and other quiet amenities. : )

3) I can see why some people might not go this route. It surely gets in
the way of changing your mind. It sounds sort of silly, but "how much
"vaguness" is allowed? Is a phrase such as "add fluorescent lighting to the
ceiling" unacceptable?

The application fee for the building permit the maximum of .05/sq^2 or $25.
Is that likely to cover both the "rough-in" and "final inspection", or are
their typically further fees?

Personally, If I were you, I would pay for a wiring inspection. You run
all
your cables to the boxes and call them to come and then again after the
recepticals are installed and closed up.
