How soon will the third-party inspector issue a recommendation?
After an inspector is assigned, he will contact the homeowner and the builder to set up an inspection. If the only alleged defects are workmanship and materials related, the inspector should issue his report not later than 30 days after he receives the assignment from the commission. If the dispute involves structural defects the third-party inspector should issue his report no later than 60 days after he receives the assignment from the commission. However, either the third-party inspector or a party to the dispute can request additional time in accordance with commission rules, if needed.
