Building Code or Best Practice is the question today?!
Tuesday Jul 25, 2023
Tuesday Jul 25, 2023
Often times we are asked about building code and it is impossible to for an inspector to know building codes for plumbing, electrical, structural, HVAC, etc. However, an inspector does know the difference when looking at construction on whether it is good, great or ugly. This topic has come up a few times during a few inspections so we thought to get your input. Should the minimum building code be enough or quality craftsmanship using best practices be a better suggestion for the homeowner? Remember the better you take care of your home, the better it will take care of you!
