Re: Private inspector 8Aug 09, 2019 5:48 pm Private inspectors add cost for the volume builders like Metricon and their comparatively low paid volume contractors. They don’t want you finding deviations from the plan and poor workmanship during the build and your requests to rectify it at their expense. They would prefer to keep going and cover these up or that you find the defects later at PCI or after handover when they have all your money and it’s just not practical to fix.

The site supervisor may manage up to 20 builds at a time and will have minimal time to visit and check yours. It is up to you and your inspector to check their workmanship and conformity to the plans. However, every customer’s expectations and tolerance of defects with volume builders will be different. If you already have a contract, is the inspection cost stated in there?
