The building departments are going to get tired of that real quick?
Please try to get them to see that making it more difficult is only going to make the problems worse and harder for clients to get the credits they deserve.
Please ask who the OIR works for? Who if anyone are they supposed to protect?
Where will the money come from to enforce this stuff?
Will they be making it clear that if insurance companies do not accept forms from qualified inspectors then the insurance companies MUST pay and send their own guy?
Lol, we all need to put our wallets together and create the send Meeker to the Meetings fund. Let him ask all the tough questions and deal with the BS.
If they want proof they can get it themselves just like I have to for each inspection. My word is good enough. I have met their licensing requirements and risk losing that license if I were to lie or perpetrate fraud. Why would I do that.
Precisely why it is the clients responsibility to obtain the information and not our responsibility.
Homeowners can 99% of the time take care of it with a phone call.
If they want stuff from the permit office the permit office WILL charge and If I have to go there it is 100 minimum for up to 1 hr of my time. More time will equal more money. Who is going to pay these costs? The clients?
What about the places that are only open 4 days a week.
We need the form to be less difficult not more difficult.
Hold inspectors responsible for what we say we see. If anyone doubts us then we can show what we have is proof.
It seems to me that once again the homeowners will get the short end of the stick. Who is looking out for them?
