How was your experience? 17Dec 01, 2017 10:38 am I think having a building inspector is handy particularly for an untrained eye, but keep in mind: 1. They generally pick up the same common faults time and time again (as they do it every day). Their reports tend to be "cookie cutter" in approach. I've compared my own reports of a major inspector against reports from other H1 members and the language is nearly identical. 2. They will always pick something up, as they need to give the perception that the client is getting their monies worth. 3. A lot depends on the willingness of your builder to rectify. If you have a difficult SS and Construction Manager, then a report is useless unless you can compel/enforce the fixes. I would send it to the certifier who is technically your representative and working on your behalf not the builder's 1 2282 Carlisle use to sneak a water resistant "Performance Solution" into their contracts. Have you checked your contract for same? 4 10271 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 45568 |
