This blog of shared experience is not intended to black ball any professional services, since no situation or person in any professional field is perfect!
However, this blog will help both the patron and the provider to present the need of reliability and be determined to receive full integrity.
The following three prospects are literally mutual aspects of both the service provider and patron
Prospect of Time:
Since time is valued or measured by money. Never waste time nor take time for granted. Just as you wouldn't waste money nor want to spend money foolishly.
So, before you take on a contract or agreed to hire for service. No what the service you provide, and understand once hired what to do when the servuce isn't provided. Or, discuss should the service not meet expectations what insurance can be provided such as "errors & omissions ."
Prospects of Knowledge:
Since knowledge is golden, then realize you must be knowledgeable upon a service you're pursuing. Not hesitate to express in writing whatever compensation you and the provider can agree upon should the service fall short or lack due-diligence.
Prospects of Honesty:
Honesty could be considered a commodity! When it comes to a provider presenting all they can or capable of providing, based on what is expected and / or what is required. So, with that in mind you could never ascertain the full scope of service needed vs what you may or may not obtain.
Here is when you must learn upfront, at the start, before you seek your needed service. Know all you could possibly know of the service you need and or want. The parton should inquire of the provider to present both verbally and in writing of what they are prepared to provide. Keep in mind, honesty now represents being transparent. You will then learn of various flags regarding the service being worthy, limited, slacking, detailed etc.
There will surely be something left out of what they present vs what you may have learned of the service you're seeking. If what you learned was not presented in the scope of your inspector pitch. You should seek elsewhere. You took the time, you are seeking knowledge of service, the provider you seek should be seemlessly transparent of what you will learn of the purchsse you are about to make. If not you will notice flags against your pursuit of the purchase. Thus the inspector will not provide full info and explanation to conclude the inspection.
An Unfortunate Example:
You hire an inspector to evaluate the property you are about to purchase. The inspector conveniently lined up an energy source utility company for you during the inspection (Flag 1, since this was not part of the listed inspection evaluation or pitch).
Transparent failure became an open gate: that now little comments like "that's interesting" when noting a shared wall of the garage wall and furnace room was presented with a venting grid. (Flag 2 But, inspector didn't elaborate what was interesting.)
When inspector expressed an ac condensor can't be evaluated of its integrity during April cause it's not hot enough. Meanwhile, their was some fictious initial and date of April of a condensor inspection log that indicated the same year and month of the inspection. (Flag 3 But, the inspector didn't share the knowledge of that being inconsistent.)
Hiring professional who presented or invited an energy supply utlity contractor without notice during an inspection, was a misleading tactic of trust.
Not presenting clarity of comments and inconsistent scope of what could be hidden issues such as forged ac condensor inspection leaking freon and near death experience of a lethal furnace venting condition.
TERRIBLE LESSON:
All three flags presented inspector was not transparent of lacking knowledge. Lacked honesty while being inconsistent of the service to evaluate and inspect. Lastly the hired contract energy utility company failed to acknowledge and or present the danger of the venting condition.
