Inspect and Protect was written as a protocol for avoiding litigation, for building inspectors. It is comprised of dozens of essays that were written and published in various magazines, in which inspectors were warned about the threat that litigation poses to their livelihoods. If all litigation was fair and honest there would be no need for concern, but it is not, as this book documents with actual case histories. And, unfortunately, the threat is growing. The good news is that it takes very little effort for inspectors to protect themselves; it is simply a matter of understanding the threat, and then making a few fundamental changes in the way they inspect and report on properties.
