A day before we were given an outrageous cost variation caused by extra piering and steel reinforcement. We visited the site the next day then found out that slab is about to be poured. Obviously, they didn't gave us the chance to have it inspected prior to the pour. The builder also said they've added some extra piers beyond what's in cdc approved plan. How can we then verify that if it's not anywhere on any engineering report? Is these a common dubious practice by builders? How should we handle this issue? Thanks for your advice thus far.

We are looking at getting a private inspector. Is strength test part of a private inspector's report for the slab? Thanks.
