new construction inspections in ohio: New Constuction Inspector in Ohio - 07/16/10 10:31 AM
Do you have to be certified to do an inspection on a new construction home?
Well it depends. There is nothing that says that you can not walk around a home and give your opinion on how it is built (workmanship).
The question is do you want to know if it is built (code) properly. Then the answer is yes if you want all the components inspected.
One example of having to be certified would be inspecting the electrical system.
Inspector Mike is certified, by the State of Ohio, in the following:
Building
Mechanical
Plumbing
Electrical

new construction inspections in ohio: Understanding Trusses - 01/09/09 05:51 PM
If you want to learn and understand truss construction may I suggest that you join the Structural Building Components Association.

If you are doing new home construction inspections and do not know this information you ARE not doing a good inspection.
You will find no better information on trusses and their construction, handling and installation.
Belonging is very inexpensive and will pay you back many times over.

new construction inspections in ohio: Code Inspections - 09/30/08 07:31 PM
While a Home Inspection is NOT a code inspection there are many times that an expert needs to be brought in.
One example would be if you are building a home in an area that has no building department.
While your contractor may perform good work he may not know that the home has to be built to the 2006 RCO (Residential Code of Ohio).
This is a service that we provide.
Another example could be that the contractor just refuses to fix his mistakes.
We provide inspections that very few are certified to do.

new construction inspections in ohio: Profile Views VS Blogging Points - 09/17/08 04:41 PM
 I was thinking today what is more important. How many blogs (points) I have or is it more important how many people want to know more about me? 
I am in what may be described as a dry business. What I mean by that is I deal with facts. Not concerned with paint colors, staging, or the price of the home. Just, is something OK in its function or is it defective. 
While my point score is only 25348 my profile views are 3570.
I get a lot of business from people viewing my credentials. 
I would like to here what … (10 comments)

new construction inspections in ohio: Attn. Builders - 08/08/07 06:48 PM
This is what happened to me last week on the start of a new construction home.
I stopped by and introduced myself to the superintendent running the job.
First I think that I caught him off guard. I guess no one hires an inspector to inspect new construction.
He was polite and I have no problem with him.
MY problem is that when I asked to be informed when the home was under roof so I could walk my client through the home to determine the electrical layout I was told that NO changes were allowed. Not even adding one outlet.
Now I understand if uncle … (7 comments)
