On this episode of the Making it With Myles podcast we have a chin wag about Private Building inspectors. These men and women are engaged by the client getting their house built and they oversee the stages of construction to ensure the builder is building to adeqaute standards, tolerances and its all compliant. This is an investment worth undertaking to ensure you are getting the product you are paying for. There is nothing worse than buying something where the quality doesn't even meet the minimum standard. So if you are getting a new home built this is the episode for you.
