final inspection

Ultimate quality review

Final inspection is the last examination of a product, project, or property before it's approved, delivered, or handed over.

In manufacturing, it's the quality check before goods ship.

In construction, it's when an inspector verifies work meets code before occupancy.

The term implies that earlier inspections have occurred: We passed the final inspection on the house yesterday.
