I am not sure Apparently a building certifier has to sign off on it when they finish the frame, I am wondering if I should hire an independent certifier to give me a second opinion.

As others have said, I would have been hiring an independent inspector straight away. Photo 2: that come down to just laziness. Just check if they have put another nail next to the ones that missed.

Get it checked but typically asbestos was used in wet areas and plaster board or Masonite in other areas 1 1354 |
