We like our builder as a person but at the end of the day it is a business relationship. The best piece of sanity I have seen for a while.

I am now surprised at how many people don't just get one as a matter of course. I was just going to take my inspector out there at critical points (brickwork, roof frame, PCI).

There is nothing to hide, being honest and upfront is the best approach to any issue.
