Inspection en bâtiment :
De tous les intervenants dans une transaction immobilière, l'inspecteur en bâtiment est le seul qui ne fasse l'objet d'aucun encadrement législatif. En effet, les courtiers et agents immobiliers, les notaires, les arpenteurs géomètres, etc. sont encadrés par une loi professionnelle spécifique à leur domaine d'activité, laquelle a pour objectif de protéger le public.

Not many real estate transactions proceed nowadays without there being a prior building inspection. The result is that, for some years, the number of building inspectors has been constantly increasing. Despite this, the building inspector is the only one of all the players in a real estate transaction who is not subject to any legislated supervision. In fact, real estate brokers and agents, notaries, surveyors, etc. are all subject to a professional Act, specific to their field of activity, whose purpose is to protect the public.
