hausdok Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Hi All, In these tough times, I think it's necessary for inspectors to begin looking for ways to diversify their business operations. Regardless of the downturn in the economy, builders are going to need to either learn the new "green" technologies or hire specialists in green technology as consultants. I think that inspectors could find a comfortable niche as Green Building Consultants for large developers and contractors. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!
