The structural inspection of a building can fall into two distinct and separate categories. The class that most are familiar with involves a municipal worker that checks the various phases of construction as the progress. Does the concrete slab have sufficient re-strengthening material in it, has the bed for the slab been properly prepared, once poured has the proper concrete mix been used, are the exterior wall built to code and are they properly secured together? These and 100 other check point questions are inspected and guaranteed by the inspector as meeting local building codes. The team at melbourne property inspections looks at up to 250 different parts in their building inspection.
Carpentry, plumbing, electrical, grading, roofing, fencing, everything done on a construction site is subject to a building inspectors inspection and ratification. Mostly work must stop until the next level of inspection has been finished and authorized or any defaults have been corrected and reinspected.
Some areas having a robust relationship with the tradesperson may allow them, for example, to only cover a side of an interior wall leaving the other side exposed till the inspector approves the framing, electrical, and plumbing activity in those walls.
While building inspections can be maddening for the contractor who must stop work and wait for the inspector to arrive they serve a particular and useful purpose. Different areas have different regulations regarding building standards due to differing forces of nature. Buildings on the pacific coast are subject to the stresses of earth quakes while buildings in Texas or Oklahoma are subject to tornadoes and buildings in North Dakota are liable to intense low temperatures and heavy roof snow loads. Each one of these geographic areas have different codes which take into consideration these regional differences. Building inspections help to insure that the local forces of nature don't cause a negative effect on the structural integrity of a building.
The other kind of building inspection is conducted well after a building has been built. The primary point of this kind of inspection is to figure out the condition of and so the value of, a building that is being sold.
