    Irvine Pacific Open Wall Walk-Through

    That's true. I guess all builders hate inspector. That's why it makes even more sense to have yr own inspector, not just blindly trust the builder. Building a house is a very complicated project, many people will be doing different things. It's very easy to make mistakes and make lots of them...

    Why is Univ. HS so good?

    i can only speak for NHS, for 9th grader state test, the teachers didn't seem to purposely prepare for it. they even left some test area not covered because of the schedule. if this is the case for all grades in NHS, then their API shld be pretty impressive.

    Maricopa design appointments options/process

    maybe they will still allow the final inspection. but not for pre-drywall any more. probably because the law didn't mandate that to happen.

    u will be perfect to work in IP sales office. does builder's terms state that they are not going to build according to the code? u r not going to prevent others to discuss issues they have encountered. i just don't see yr point here.

    what to look for during pre-drywall walk through for your new home

    IP has been trying very hard to prevent pre-drywall inspection, but more and more buyers have realized that they have the right to do so to protect themselves. we just need to be firm on this and keep pushing them. there are also some things we can watch out by ourselves during the pre-drywall...
