Engineers are exempt from home inspection laws in Kansas. If you hire an engineer here to do a home inspection, he/she may not be qualified. Engineers are specialists in one area; civil, electrical, etc. Caution should be used when hiring any engineer to do a home inspection, IMHO.

I always tell prospects if they say they are wanting an engineer as an inspector:
An engineer performing inspections must not be able to make a living as an engineer if he has to take a pay cut and perform home inspections. So that says he must not be a good engineer, so what would do you think would make him a good home inspector?

You should have to be a computer scientist to be a home inspector!
