Common questions
Does the same engineer come back?
Yes. The engineer who wrote the first report re-inspects the items it listed.
Can a report from another firm be followed up?
Send it. The engineer will say whether a follow-up is workable or whether a new inspection is the cleaner path.
Who arranges the repairs?
The borrower hires the contractor. The engineer does not sell or perform repairs, which is what keeps the opinion independent.
