Hi,
I had my engineer up to my house during the week. It is a housing developement. The house is roofed and waiting to be plastered inside. It was the first visit by the engineer and I expected him to go around checking everything (correct roofing materials, damp coursing etc). He spent 5 minutes in the house walking from room to room asking me what the room was? The only "technical" thing he did was he pointed the cavity insulation out to me and said "its insulated alright". I asked him about what other things he is checking and he said there wasnt much to check until house is finished. I wouldnt mind but he came recommnded! Or is that all the engineer will do? An extremely easy 175e if it is. I know he is expensive but I thought it might be worth it if he was recommended. What can I do? Just refuse to pay him? Am I expecting too much?
