You are hiring a
Professional Building Consultant/Home Inspector. When you hire a
building consultant/home inspector, you are hiring an experienced
professional who has training and experience in the building industry.
It is the job of the consultant to not only evaluate the condition of
the house's major systems and structurals, but also to evaluate how
these systems are working together and identify areas that need to be
watched, repaired or replaced.
Your
home consultant will give you the
"Big Picture" analysis of the house. If the building
consultant
identifies the need for a costly, detailed analysis of any of the
home's systems or structural components, the inspector will recommend
the appropriate professional, which may be an experienced engineer or a
qualified licensed contractor or specialty tradesman with expertise
analyzing that particular system or structural component. The need for
this kind of expensive, detailed analysis is rare.
