We ask contractors to call our office 24 hours in advance and we give them an appointment. I don't mean "some time in the morning" etc. I mean an appointment, which we endeavor to meet. Sometimes, if a previous inspection takes longer than expected, we may show up a few minutes late. But if it's going to be more than about 20 minutes late, we'll have our office call the contractor and let them know we've hit a snag and find out if they can wait or if they need to reschedule. Heck, if a contractor calls less than 24 hours in advance and we have an open slot on the schedule, we'll give 'em an appointment.
Our inspection load per inspector is a little lighter than hotline's
