How does a home inspection differ from a code inspection?
Home Buyers Sellers Sample Report Pictures FAQs Email Us		A typical buyer's inspection is an introduction to the house and is focused on informing and educating the client about the property. The general home inspector is aware of the local codes, and the inspection and report will consider these codes. However, the scope of a general home inspection is targeted more at providing an informative, detailed and objective evaluation of the house so that the buyer understands the home that he/she is considering purchasing. A typical buyer's inspection is an introduction to the house and is focused on informing and educating the client about the property. A code inspector, on the other hand, works for the local municipality and enforces the local and state codes. A code inspector will show little or no concern for the buyer's understanding of these codes. A code inspection does not communicate whether or not the house was well constructed, but rather communicates whether or not it meets with all municipal codes.
