Highly unlikely. I hope thats the case and the certifier is truely independent. im just concerned how all the perimeter peirs are clearly visible yet none of the inner ones are. Problem is i cant get onsite to verify either way and can only go by the photos i can take on this side of the fence Re: Question about piering 17Sep 29, 2020 1:02 am Bao Nguyen alexp79 It wouldn't be even certified by the certifier if number of piers are not matching engineering drawings.

If they lock the fence, then probably makes sense coming onsite during a day and asking supervisor to give you a quick walk through? It will still them at least a day to set up pods and reinforcement steel. You just have to openly raise your concerns and if they have nothing to hide, it should not be a problem for them to show you those piers even through the fence.
