Who is responsible for contacting the required agencies to make final inspections for the purpose of obtaining the occupancy permit for a Dq Treat location?

According to the 2025 Dq Treat Franchise Disclosure Document, the contractor is responsible for contacting the required agencies to make final inspections for the purpose of obtaining the occupancy permit for new Dq Treat locations.

This means that while the franchisee will likely be involved in the process of opening a new location, the responsibility of coordinating and scheduling the final inspections with the relevant agencies falls on the contractor overseeing the construction. This is a crucial step in ensuring that the location meets all necessary building codes and regulations before it can be opened to the public.

The Dq Treat franchisee should ensure that the general contractor understands this responsibility and has a plan in place to manage these inspections efficiently. Any delays or failures in obtaining the occupancy permit could postpone the opening of the new location, potentially leading to financial losses for the franchisee. Therefore, close communication and coordination between the franchisee, the contractor, and the construction consultant are essential to ensure a smooth and timely opening.
