The CAA are very involved in the inspection stage, they visit our shop very regularly and paw over the digital photos I've taken of progress too, people may knock them but as long as you have a good cheif engineer who can get on with the CAA boys there are never any major difficulties. Take the G-46 for example, we spent quite a few months re-conditioning her ready to fly and the CAA were all over it and as the area rep was unfamiliar with this type he was rightly asking as many questions as possible, checking through manuals and references and being genuinely interested. Admittedly there are some regs that cause grief but the CAA don't do anything by halves, it's the somewhat 'enterprising' workshops where trouble can stem from sometimes.
