One way I explain this to clients is this: Suppose you go to your family physician, who is a generalist. And he or she sends you to a specialist, such as a dermatologist, and the dermatologist performs some procedure on you. Do you now return to your family physician and ask him or her if what the specialist did is correct? No. If you have concerns, you go to another dermatologist. Your family physician is not qualified to pass judgment on the specialist.
I guess I don't understand; depending on the house of course, 75% of the house was built by a "specialist", and the other 25% may have been changed by the homeowner. Does that mean you can't inspect that 75% of the house? What about new home inspections, certainly the entire home was built by "specialists"?
