Re: Victorian building surveyors O.A.G. report. 2Aug 02, 2015 8:52 am There should be an Independent Engineers report released to the public at some stage..I'll keep an eye out. There is a lack of training over here in WA..but there isn't a lack of engineers.. and I seem to recollect the old system of engineers inspections worked fine.During the mining boom many engineers moved away from Housing, the second rate system of BSs is a result of a knee jerk reaction and pressure from the building lobby to free up certification. Building Surveyors don't even rank in the trusted professions and structural collapses just further highlights this problem as to who can you trust?. http://www.roymorgan.com/findings/6188- ... 1504280343 Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs Re: Victorian building surveyors O.A.G. report. 3Aug 02, 2015 1:42 pm Interesting article from the Age Save H20. Regarding the following: In one case, he said, the council had discovered that the office of a private building surveyor had produced a letter purporting to be from Monash Council. The allegedly f&&&&&&&&t document gave permission for the builder not to comply with regulations, he said. "The council reported this matter to the police and the VBA more than two years ago," Mr Lake said. I wonder if the police or the VBA did anything about the surveyor? I havent, and i havent looked to much into it, but on face value its not the saviour its trying to make out to be. Shared equity in your home is never a good idea.
