RE: Structural Observation Contract Clause

May want to add something about the timing of the request. Message left on answering machine after working hours for inspection at 7:00 am the next day on a site 200km away is tending towards unreasonable notification and pushing the concept of 24 hour notice.

Subject: Structural Observation Contract Clause

 

Listers,

 

I have so many problems getting others to understand this one so I am trying to clarify it a bit.  How does this sound:

 

"Structural observations, as may or may not be required by the department of building and safety, will be provided only when requested by the client or representative thereof. Coordination and scheduling of structural observations is the responsibility of the client and/or client's representative."

 

My jobs are primarilly single-family residences.

 

Thanks.

 

Michel
