House Inspection #1

I think it's time for us to prepare for house inspection.

I have attended a talk last year on house inspection and as suggested the following are the tools needed during house inspection.

• Camera - capture the defected part to show to the developer or for you to make comparison after repaired.
• Stickers - to mark on the defected part, easier for the constructor to locate it.
• Floor Plan - to make your inspection works easier.
• Tapping rod / a golf ball - to check for hollow sound on tile or wall, hollow sound could be caused by uneven floor or tile.
• Measurement tape - Just in case you want to do any measurement.
• Set square - It's an triangle object used in engineering for technical drawing, it's used to measure gap between 2 objects e.g. between 2 joint wall or between door frame and wall (max allowable gap is 4mm - 2 x 50 cents coin). Another use of it is to check the straightness of the edge or angle for internal walls.

Please kindly share if you have any suggestion and thoughts.
