[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm one of the people who responded in the last thread, making suggestions about insisting on pre-drywall inspection. You seem extremely distressed, OP, and between the last thread and this one I worry that you're not effectively communicating with the builders—coming across as excessively anxious and not clearly conveying what you want and why. I urge you to take a step back, collect your thoughts, and be as specific as possible with the builders. If you're not able to sort out your thoughts and communicate effectively, use your network of trusted friends to help you—don't rely on anonymous strangers on the internet, no matter how helpful we're trying to be.

As for the draft note you posted, it doesn't really make sense. Why do other homes matter?

This should be simple. The builders have committed to a pre-drywall inspection for code violations. The whole point of that inspection is to identify and correct any violations. If there are violations, obviously the builder should provide verifiable proof—either another pre-drywall walkthrough or photos—that the violations were corrected. Just insist on that. You're not asking for a favor here, just for the builder to follow through on their commitment. It would defeat the whole point of the inspection if you didn't get verifiable proof of fixes.[/quote]

Op here. We requested this and they are refusing. They are only offering a written report. [/quote]

I would push back, hard. It doesn't make sense to allow an independent inspector to identify issues, but then disallow that inspector from confirming rectification of the issues. If the builders still won't budge, then it's your judgment call about how much you want the house and how much you trust the builders.

But, to reiterate, I worry that you're not communicating effectively here. The draft message you posted did not track the point you're making.[/quote]

Because I gave up on that since the builder says no one from their team is allowed to approve the buyer or even the seller to be there. [/quote]

You don't need the buyer or seller to be there. You need an [i]inspector[/i] at the house. This was the whole point of the last thread. Again, you're really not communicating effectively.[/quote]
