Having said that do not underestimate the power of knowledge, expertise and experience. Once builder knows you have someone looking after you you will be taken more seriously and respectfully. Many of my clients were mistreated until I showed up, then the game was up. Builder will know that if defects are not fixed, issues will escalate and cost everone more money, lost time and grief. I have been inspecting for over a decade now and rarely do things escalate because we detect early and nip it in the bud. If they do then more often than not I will get best result possible. It is more than likely that on my next inspection I will report issues I have already delt with on other jobs, perhaps many times. Often there are multiple options but which one is the best? As a builder myself I can take a balanced view and fine balance can only come from extensive experience, your advantage.
