DonTx Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 I read a survey a while back (I think it was put out by the NAHB) about how an independent inspection during the construction phases can decrease the number of call backs from Homeowners. I didn't find it in the NAHB Callback survey that Mike has in the archives. Does anyone else have a copy - or something similar? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisprickett Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 It's in the archives, but I'm feeling particularly nice this morning so I won't make you look. Go to Downloads and look for NAHB Callback Survey in the first column. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Hi, Could it have been the paper that Don Norman, ex-ashi pres wrote that was pretty widely circulated around the first of the year? Here's one place it showed up: http://www.remodeling.hw.net/industry-n ... eID=237229 Could it have been the NAHB National Housing Quality Initiative? http://www.nahbrc.org/Docs/NewHomeNav/N ... 110504.pdf OT - OF!!!

DonTx Posted March 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Nope, none of those. The one I'm thinking of specifically stated how many callbacks were decreased when builders had third party inpsections perfored during the phase stages. The average was something like an average 19 callbacks per year for those builders who did not have inspections compared to 3 callbacks per year for those who did. At least I'm pretty sure it was a NAHB survey...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisprickett Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Donald, First I head of that was at Peter Drenan's New Construction Seminar at ITA in Vegas 04'. I emailed him for the refereance and couldn't find it, but sent me the latest one that is in TIJ's downloads. I searched for weeks and never found the one he referenced. I'd be happy to fax you the pages from the seminar, but I can only depend on Peter's accuracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swarga Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Chris, I think you heard it at Peter's class in Orlando. It was from a 1996 NAHB Study that you had to be a NAHB member to get a copy of. I recently tried to get a copy of it from NAHB and they said it no longer exists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the ICC class in Orlando. I have proof- that's where I met Hausdoc! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian G Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Originally posted by chrisprickett No, it was Vegas. I did the ICC class in Orlando. You did the ICC class in Fort Lauderdale. Orlando was about four years back, if you went to it at all. Brian G. Never Did Find the Fort in Lauderdale [?] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swarga Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 I know Chris went to Orlando because I rented a Mustang there and we drove to lunch one day. I don't remember a ICC class in Orlando. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
