Re: Private inspector charge by builder 7Jul 12, 2023 11:07 am Also to put it into perspective, my last builder was pleased to have inspectors over, rectified every defect identified, took photos of the fixes as evidence and forwarded them to me. On top of that, they told me I was welcome to go to the site whenever I wanted and to give them a call, email or SMS with any questions or issues I may have about stuff happening on site and they would address. This actually worked out well for them, because i picked up a couple issues as soon as the frame was erected frame where they weren't built to take the custom size windows we ordered. this saved them time, money, effort etc all for just having an open relationship. Imagine what it would have cost them once everything was bricked up to solve this lol. They had a positive relationship with my inspectors too despite some of the reports coming up relatively extensive. Volume builder in VIC btw. Re: Private inspector charge by builder 8Jul 12, 2023 5:49 pm I'd be finding a new builder, flags don't come much redder than this. Re: Private inspector charge by builder 10Jul 12, 2023 8:52 pm Pedro4137 Cost for builder to spend time on each report Is that unreasonable? yes it is unreasonable. If the building industry wasn't as lax in meeting MINIMUM standards, an independent inspection industry wouldn't exists. The builder is OBLIGATED BY LAW to build you a home that meets minimum standards. You should not be charged EXTRA money to arrive at that outcome. Re: Private inspector charge by builder 11Jul 13, 2023 11:18 am If you can, find a new builder. It depends on your current stage and if you have already paid the deposit. If the deposit was paid, try negotiating. Tell the builder that you will pay only if you actually send the report. When your inspector finds problems, present them in person to your supervisor instead. To clarify, it is a red flag, any good builder would never charge for an inspection report.

If its early days, agree. This is a sign of things to come Re: Private inspector charge by builder 13Jul 13, 2023 1:55 pm If you already have a contract, is the inspection cost stated in there? If not they would be forced to issue you a variation which you could of course object to. I would send it to the certifier who is technically your representative and working on your behalf not the builder's 1 2548 Hi everyone, Looking for some advise.
