How can you complain about property inspector and building consultants disclaimers when you have them yourself? Is that not a double standard? You assume to know everthing? Ive never needed to hide behind disclaimers as a contractor nor as an engineer. I also give freely advice on this board LOL, without disclaimers. Disclaimers arent for hiding behind. You again have missed the point. Are we to assume that you are a) not an engineer b) are an engineer but operate without indemnity insurance or c) a troll?

We all generally charge about the same (around $200-250/hr for an RPEQ/CPEng). Whilst our disclaimers on our reports are very brief or non-existent, our fee agreements have about 3 pages of conditions and limitations of liability as per Consult Australia standard form. All practising professional engineers do this as far as I aware. No one would be crazy or stupid enough not to do this. In any case, your PI insurer would probably kick you to the kerb if you didn't. You have mandatory building inspections and privately engaged building inspections.
