    That’s pretty silly if the contractor doesn’t need to have some sort of certification. Anyone can go build a house without knowing what they are doing and then 10 years down the line no one knows who built it when things start to fall apart, or who to blame, and the contractor probably keeps building things wrong the entire time.

      Yet, that’s exactly what happens sometimes. Big developers are professionals at putting in the minimum passable workmanship while putting enough lipstick on to sell it at a high price. The only inspections that take place are for code compliance for particular items, but they don’t inspect much of anything outside of that.
