So just to clarify, reading your comments above... Is your opinion on Independent Building Inspectors that you don't recommend them because they aren't engineers (or they aren't required to have that training) and therefore aren't qualified to inspect for everything a client would want inspected? Re: Building Inspector - how many & what stage 19Feb 01, 2019 12:46 pm Make sure you have copies of all the signed engineering Drawings & Variations, ie, Site report, Footings/Slab, Framework, Beams, Masonry, Wind Loading,etc,etc Talk Photos and ask question, you will visit your build, more than anyone else Concrete slabs also discussed here Private building inspectors Concrete Slab hth Chris Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs Re: Building Inspector - how many & what stage 20Feb 02, 2019 11:11 am Sir Salty Hi, I am engaging Darbecca to do certain stages of our build with Henley. The stages I chose and why are: - Pre-Slab (Its the foundation of your home, you want it to be correct and to engineers specifications) - Frame/Slab (Again, backbone to your house structurally) - Pre-Plaster (As mentioned I think on the Darbecca site, trades come in to do rough-ins and just cut through whatever they need to get their job done, this needs to be checked) - Final Inspection (They check everything) I didn't choose to do all because I am on a budget and after talking with a few people was convinced some of the other stages weren't as vital and we can check on these stages ourselves. My reasoning for getting an independent inspector is: - I don't trust trades to always do the right thing no matter how good the reputation of your builder is - I don't trust that the building surveyor/inspector isn't slightly in the builders back pocket - Its piece of mind on my huge investment I would send it to the certifier who is technically your representative and working on your behalf not the builder's 1 2267 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 45549 Adam Baines Grad Cert Bldg Surv / Grad Dip Bldg Surv / MSAAPA Accredited Building Professional APB20210035 Builders Lic 183023 Pest Control Lic 84868 Ph 0412202336 PO… 3 46835 |
