Why Use a Licensed Engineer
1. According the above examples, Banks, NYS Insurance company, and municipalities will accept an inspection of a home from a Licensed Professional Engineer (PE) but not that of a Licensed Home Inspector. Those who have done research, will choose an Engineer over a Home inspector.
2. Due to the breath of a doctor's education, a doctor is qualified do everything a nurse can, however a nurse is not qualified to do everything a doctor can. Same comparison goes for an Engineer and a Home Inspector. The educated choice is to use a Licensed Engineer when you need a home inspection.
3. Below are several links from the National Association of Certified Home Inspectors (NACHI), informing their inspectors how to report structural defects. In the examples below NACHI recommends that the inspector report "the structure should be evaluated by a professional engineer". Wow! That’s another inspection fee! For the people that know, they choose a PE. |
