Browse Forums Building A New House Re: What have been your experiences with building inspection 4Jan 07, 2024 7:20 pm You have mandatory building inspections and privately engaged building inspections. The difference between the two comes down to inspecting the building so it's safe and inspecting thr building so it meets good building practice. What differentiates the two is the way in which it is built will determine will it deteriate over time to the point of failure or bad to begin with vs' does it look sh*t. Example includes will a column support a balcony vs' a cracked tile on the porch. Mandatory inspections comes from the national construction code where engineering principles are put to test, the latter are commonly manufacturing guidelines. Your inspections that you seen on YouTube could be looking at any two but standard building practices follow satisfying the mandatory building stages as per minimum so it's easy for the impletmentsiron of inspections - everything is set up to follow due course such as timber used meets building code and building procedures ensure the house stays up. It can get messy when it comes to private inspections where along the way building practices used go lazy throughout implementation for example, you can erect a stud frame wall to support a house but it is lazy practice if you use a timber that is bowed and you don't correct it at plaster stage which therefore creates your plaster wall looking buldged. Your frame.still stands up and performs, with such interconnected trades, thus you get non mandatory building practices about. For example. Hope helped.
