Tips for hiring quality building inspector

Check the credentials of your building inspector

When it comes to property inspection, it is not an amateur’s job. Credentials and experience carry weight in the building inspection field, so make sure that the inspector has them.

Read the customer reviews

You can get a more well-rounded perspective on a building inspector’s professionalism, work ethic, and ability to communicate based on online customer reviews. You may be able to find them at the company’s website or through a service review site.

Get Multiple Estimates

Before making any major investment in a building one needs to be sure of one’s requirements and budget. It is always wise to take multiple estimates from different building inspectors. This gives you an idea of the going rates of the building inspectors.

If you hate getting estimates and tend to just go with the first one, this is one instance where you should go against your tendency. Three or more estimates will undoubtedly produce a wide spread of costs. This allows you to choose the right combination of cost and quality for your project.

Ask the Right Questions

It is your right to satisfy all your concerns before making any decision regarding who to give your money. If you think that the representative of the fencing company isn’t being helpful in satisfying your concerns then you know you have to skip this vendor and move on to the next! Here are a few things you need to make clear before choosing a vendor.

Always get a formal, written Inspection report

Don’t just verbally let the inspector tell you “All good”! Always get hold of the a formal, written, inspection report for the record and to be on the safe side in case any issue comes up in the future.

Make Inspector's Job Easier

Try to cooperate with the building inspector because you may not have the technical knowledge they might. You are just one of many addresses that the building inspection company estimator will visit that day.

 It is a good idea to not poke nose in the inspector’s job and give him the freedom to do his job. So the point I am trying to makes is, pure and simple, don’t impeach in the estimators’ business and make them angry.

Now you are equipped with all the information you need! Happy Inspecting!
