Burak called me after the inspection to let me know that it was complete and discussed some of the major issues he identified and how he worked with the builder to resolve and rectify the issues promptly.
I would give him 5 because of his friendly behaviour on site. He explained issues on site and gave enough time to recheck once fixed. I would recommend all if they want quality inspections in future.
Quick in handing in the report and Kosmas readily answered all my queries. Thank you
Very thorough with the inspection scope. Inspection has been carried out with care and completness
