Fl SOP Draft

[Greg Bell]

The state is getting ready to publish the SOP. I have attached a draft copy of the rules. Please read and discuss any concerns you have here,

The SOP should be in effect within 90 days if it is not challenged.

Just an FYI, there are now over 7000 licensed home inspectors in the state.

[Greg Bell]

I noticed that it is a $1000 fine if you don't give the client a copy of your exclusions (inspection agreement) before the inspection.

[Michael C. Wagner]

Thanks, Greg.

[Greg Bell]

61-30.813 General Limitations And Exclusions

I like 4(d) under this rule. Should take care of anyone offering a guarantee or warranty.

[Greg Bell]

61-30.812 Site Conditions that affect the Structure

I think that sea walls should be added to number 2.

Thanks Greg, I took a quick look at pages 21 and beyond prety standard stuff. Thanks

Real money maker there

How does this part coincide with work we perform on a 4-point?...

61-30.813 General Limitations And Exclusions
(3) Inspectors are not required to determine:
(b) The remaining life of any system or component.

or does this not apply when performing 4-point inspections?


Thanks,

Bert

[Michael J. Meeker]

Isn't this the best?

Aren't you all so happy we are now being told how and what to do?

Anyone who pushed for licensing is a fool.

Thanks again butt-wipes.

Not required doesn't mean you can't do it.

Mike, this is no different than it was. It is how everyone should have been doing it in the first place.
