Yes.. Professional Engineer... Agree they are bound to higher standard and I don't think they can disclaim much of the responsibility in my case. Especially when his report does not have a strong disclaimer.
So what's going on? Did you contact a lawyer? If this is a Professional Engineer he should have Errors & Omissions Insurance.
We had the inspector contacted, we wrote a letter to alert him that we have these problems and other PE have determined that he SHOULD have addressed an d if he had reported that the foundations were not solid we would have not bought the house. He called me and did not take a position...acknowledges that he did not mention things that he should have but nothing is done yet. I will wait until next week and then we will have our attorney contacting him. Thank you for asking..I believe we will have something done..
johnPW - Sorry to read about this fiasco. However, there is no reason to go after TomMoser. He's only trying to help everyone on this forum. It is not fair to lump in with the people you are having problems with.
If you are a religious person, please keep Matthew 7:1-2 in mind. "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
I do wish you the best of luck with this though!

The real estate agents, brokers, down there take care of all the legal aspects of the transaction, they make sure that all the necessary documents are in place and no need to have a closing lawyer because they did all the work. In New York, a real estate broker is contacted by a buyer, he drives the buyer to several houses (we could go by ourselves at open houses), and they are present to the closing without saying a word, other than making sure that your "commission check" is cut! In addition, the individuals that you suggest to use for inspection and/or electrical or others, are not always well thought..
I agree on one thing though.. I should have never trusted a friendly Real Estate Broker suggesting me that "Inspector"..
I am not going after TomMoser, and I certainly did not judge him.. I just let him know that his job is done so much more efficiently and helpfully in other states... He got defensive and asked me what kind of job I do...when I told him he ignorantly criticized and got out of line on that.. I am catholic, yes, but
I don't offer my other cheek..

If you are not in charge of a talented and experienced construction crew, run away. Then find a high profile real estate litigation attorney and sue the crap out of everyone. "not adequately supported" is the second or third scariest phrase I have ever seen in an engineer's report (and I tend to read every word).

"not adequately supported"
