Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Private building inspector 21Feb 14, 2014 9:37 am Thanks to Rubyams post about Illawarra Private Inspectors we used HK Ryan and would also recommend. With our untrained eyes everything looked good to us but were surprised at the comments made during the inspection. "Standard well above acceptable" "Excellent work" "Brilliant" . Of the thousands of inspections they have done only a handful have been given an award by H & K Ryan and our builder now has one. Worth the money for the confirmation we have such a high quality build. Builder is Adlington Homes Wollongong. Re: Private building inspector 22Feb 15, 2014 1:20 pm We are building with PD Orchard Rise, Berwick, Melbourne and construction work is about to begin. At the time of signing the contract we told them we are planning to use a private inspector. Our BC told us they are also getting an independent inspector though they didn't seem like unhappy about we getting a private inspector. Just for peace of mind, we would anyway get a private inspector on our own. At the moment we don't know how to find a good inspector in Melbourne. We have heard we cannot take the same inspectors work with PD so we need find someone who doesn't. Any information to help us finding an inspector is highly appreciated. Our build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=69549 I would send it to the certifier who is technically your representative and working on your behalf not the builder's 1 2254 If you already have a contract, is the inspection cost stated in there? If not they would be forced to issue you a variation which you could of course object to. 12 25848 I do enjoy the drama:-D In his latest two videos he has started bringing security guards to site, I am waiting for the punch on to begin lol 6 45498 |
