Multiple Unit Developments: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Pat Montague:
Yes, but often what happened in these cases, to be frank, was they were only involved in developing the plans and then the builder went off and built. They were then called back in at the end essentially to certify it was built according to the plans. They would go around to look and see "Oh yes, on the face of it, it appears to be built in accordance with the plans." The system was wrong; it did not allow for inspection during construction. That was the problem.
