| 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. |
