One of the items is thermal imaging camera. It will detect fresh roof leaks as well as many other defects and also will check the effectiveness of ceiling insulation. It will pick up thermal bridges where there is missing or poorly fitted insulation. You can see photos on my web page and blogs. Once I had an argument with the builder after telling him there was no ceiling insulation. My TI camera picked up a complete blank, with excessive heat entering the dwelling. Builder berated me saying it was done and I did not know what I was talking about. There was only one way to resolve the argument and up we went on the ladder. Yes the insulation was in the roof space but still in the bags. I wish we had someone like you to do our building inspection. do not pay until you are satisfied with workmanship windows require flashing over the head archithrave and up under weatherboards 3 28277 I would send it to the certifier who is technically your representative and working on your behalf not the builder's 1 2264 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 45543 |
