What A Mess!

jhframe · 2020-06-10T20:43:00Z

Three years ago I was hired to provide Elevation Certificates for a new house in an AO zone with a 1-foot average flood depth.?ÿ I took some shots on the site, set a bench mark for use in construction, and issued a pre-construction Certificate specifying the proposed slab elevation.?ÿ I got paid and awaited the call for a pre-pour certificate to verify the slab elevation.?ÿ That call never came, but a couple of months ago I was asked to provide a post-construction certificate.?ÿ What I found at the site was a brand-new house with a slab 0.7 foot below design elevation.?ÿ It seems that the owner acted as his own GC and ignored my bench mark -- just graded a flat spot and built his house.?ÿ The designer has washed his hands of the matter, and the owner doesn't speak English well enough to communicate with county staff, so now I'm going back and forth with the county trying to help the owner find a way forward.?ÿ Ugh.

@bstrand Really. I've used them before and they can be pretty handy, especially the slope lasers.
