| Home Inspection
began as a consumer service in the early 1970's in direct response
to the growing demand by home buyers to learn about the condition
of a house prior to purchase. It is a unique discipline, distinct
from construction, engineering, architecture, or municipal building
inspection, and as such requires its own set of professional
guidelines and qualifications. It was for this reason that the
American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) was formed in 1976.
A home inspection performed in accordance with the ASHI Standards
of Practice helps buyers to make a sound purchasing decision
based on accurate, objective information. |
