construction defects in ohio: When is a defect not a defect? - 02/22/09 03:38 PM
Home inspection ‘defects' may not necessarily be so. Some of the time those defect should be listed as recommendations rather than defects.
One important thing that most individuals that perform home inspections, Home Inspectors, Architects, Professional Engineers, etc., forget is that an installation may have been approved by the AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction).
The AHJ may have deemed something safe at the time of construction. Example: two wires under a single lug on a breaker. This is not necessarily unsafe. Yes it may be but it may also be safe. Not following the manufactures specifications may or may not be a … (1 comments)

Another example could be that the contractor just refuses to fix his mistakes.

construction defects in ohio: Construction mistakes - 04/01/07 04:04 PM
What is the biggest construction mistake that you have seen?
Do you have a picture of it?
