Home Construction Inspection
County and local inspectors will conduct various inspections while
remodeling is being done.
Renovations can involve changes in the structure
of the original structure which will require changes in plumbing,
heating, electrical etc. So home construction inspection is
necessary as construction progresses. You will have to pay an
inspection fee. If you have taken a loan from a bank, then your
lender will conduct independent inspections of the construction
site. Here are a few things about inspections that you should know:
- Major remodeling in construction will have
to pass certain building codes.
- County inspectors will review the work and
certify it.
- Remember that inspections as good. They
ensure that the work is done properly and actually benefits you. If
you have any doubts ask the inspector to clear them.
- If the construction fails inspection, then
when the construction is repaired, a follow up inspection will need
to be conducted. There will be an additional re-inspection fee.
- An inspection will be conducted when a
particular part of remodeling is completed. For example after the
plumbing is finished.
- Make sure that you are present at every
inspection conducted by the county inspectors.
- Sub-contractors usually arrange for separate
inspections. It is a good idea to be present for them.
- County inspectors only ensure that the work
done meets building codes and do not check for quality.
- Inspections by financial institutions or
lenders will be conducted at the end of each phase of remodeling
construction. The inspection is conducted to find out whether the
money is being used as intended.
- Inspectors from financial institutions are
not construction inspectors. They will come at the end of each phase
and take pictures of the construction site and verify whether the
funds are being used properly. They do not check the quality of
work.
- You should engage an independent inspector
to inspect the remodeling construction and pass it before you make
any payments.
- A subcontractor is bond by the construction
contract to deliver all the services mentioned in the contract. If
he does not, then you can withhold payment till, all the terms
mentioned in the contract are met.
- Therefore it is important to draw out a very
comprehensive construction contract and discuss the project plan
clearly with the subcontractors.
- You will need to employ an inspector to
review the quality of work. He will check the work and tell you
whether the work completed, meets the conditions specified and
agreed to in the construction contract.
- If the inspector decides that a particular
part of the construction has failed to meet building codes, then the
inspector must explain the reasons why the construction has failed
to meet the required standards.
- You can use this report of discuss re-work
before paying the subcontractor.
