Ive seen more than one time the building inspector comes in to a shop for inspection, then finds all the equipment not UL or whatever he is looking for approved, then makes the customer get all his machines approved before sign offs. That usually is 4-8K per machine! Those that waited to move in equipment never got dinged.
