 The DifferenceDid you know that there is no city inspector who watches, verifies or approves home construction or renovations in Israel? That's right no inspector makes
sure that the building of almost all structures is as per plans, or meets minimum
building standards as in the US or
many European countries. In Israel the architect and his engineer is responsible
for total supervision (and approval) including signatures on construction of the
project. No out side watch dog is present. Q: is there room for error or
omission in this system? You bet.
The concept of making the contractor totally responsible for his work is not
a new one, this idea was taken from Great Britain. The problem is that there is
no well trained labor force from which to select proper workers. In Israel the
labor force is poorly trained with minimum skills and education in the art of
construction.
Israel has historically taken the easy route to construction and must have
watchdogs. The construction industry in Israel has a long way to go to really create the
built-in quality you can rely on. QAS works for you and your interests, even the seemingly "American" companies shortcut
extensively trimming their building techniques because no one is watching except
the customer, and if you don't know construction you better find someone who
dose because there is NO CITY INSPECTOR WATCHING.
Note: This was taken from personnel experience over the last 25 years of
playing the "Catch Me if You Can" game in both the US and Israel.
