Should Tradesmen be Home Inspectors?
There are some who say that the best home inspection is an inspection where all the trades are represented by a tradesperson from each specialty. It is said that this situation brings individual and specific expertise to each system. Reports would then be made separately to the homebuyer. This argument states that no one knows plumbing better than a plumber, roofs better than a roofer, or electric better than an electrician, etc.

I will support the idea that no one knows each trade better than a person specifically from that trade, but that approach to home inspecting has several glaring flaws.

• Flaw #1.
  To inspect the entire home using individual trades people would require more then a dozen people. Roofer, plumber, electrician, framer, mason, heating, insulation, painting, landscaper, pool, fireplace, appliance, tile, and we still have windows, doors and more! For scheduling and crowd control alone, this is a bad idea. However, if we can overcome that problem, then why not? Moving on.

  It would be difficult to find a dozen or more trades people to do this inspection without the intent to solicit repair work. There is no ethics position
  How to Get the Cash to Start a Restaurant Business
  Lots of people dream of starting their own restaurant, but very few people can do it with just the cash and assets they personally have available. A restaurant is not the kind of business you can start on a shoestring, or easily bootstrap you way into a bigger operation. As a result, the financing of a restaurant startup is often the most challenging aspect of getting started for any e

    Why Stock Market Timing
    It’s important that you understand the impact that a bear market has on your capital. The give and take of your investment capital is not equal. If you placed $100 into an investment and it declined 50% to $50, what is the rate of return you would need to earn back your original investment of $100?Once you lose money, it takes a much greater return on the funds you have left to

      It would be difficult to find a dozen or more trades people to do this inspection without the intent to solicit repair work. There is no ethics position that precludes each tradesperson from soliciting work in their chosen trade. That is what trades people do; they work in their trade.
      
      

      This “looking for work” mentality puts the objectivity of the inspection process in jeopardy. While it may be appropriate for the tradesperson to make suggestions for improvement or upgrade to a homeowner, this approach is not best suited in the buying process, where the desire is principally of the inspection process to determine if exiting systems are functioning as intended, and perhaps answer component life expectancies questions.

      The biggest problem, however, with bringing in a dozen trades people to inspect a home is one that cannot be overlooked. In this scenario, NO ONE is charged with the responsibility in putting all the information together, sorting how each item interacts with the other, documenting the concerns in a coherent fashion, and most importantly of all, explaining what it all means to the homebuyer in the context of the purchase and sale agreement.
