I’m currently preparing for a custom build and am wanting to understand the difference between getting a building inspector to look at the construction at various stages vs getting an engineer. In particular:
[ul][li]Are there any legal requirements to get an engineer or building inspector to review the construction?[/li]
[li]If there are no legal requirements, what stages is it recommended getting either of these professions to review the construction?[/li]
[li]At what stage should either of these professions be contracted in the build process? e.g. should they be contracted well prior to the build starting?[/li]
[li]Any other points I should note about this[/li][/ul]
