Hey.
We are building our first home and we want to hire some independent inspectors after reading about all the horror stories. Problem is that we have no idea how anything works or who to turn to. So the questions are as follow; which stages should we hire inspectors for? Just any building inspector or are there special ones for these things? Recommendations much appreciated! Lastly, how much should we expect each inspection to cost approximately?
We are building a small two story house and the payment/stages are as follow:
5% - Deposit
10% - Base stage
15% - Frame stage
10% - Electrical / plumbing rough in
25% - Enclosed stage
20% - Fixing stage
15% - Practical completion stage
They are expecting to pour the slab within the next week or so, very exciting!
Any opinions and especially recommendations are much appreciated.
