Senecio: We recently bought a house that was only built in 2021. We were provided with almost 1,500 pages of PDFs that detailed every council inspection completed on the house over the ~9 month build period. My god, I could understand how frustrating that process would be if you were trying to build, but as the current owner of that house I'm glad that every one of those inspections were carried out. This place was built by one of the 4 largest residential builders in NZ so not some fly by night builder. Not one of those council inspections were passed on their first inspection. Every single one of them required some kind of rectification before the council inspector would sign it off. Sometimes it was minor, sometimes requiring more work to rectify. Those PDF's contain before and after photos of all remedial work performed to pass inspection.
Same here for our redo, there were a couple of failed inspections and, while I know the builder did a good job (Father Neb was a builder), it was good to have that extra check here. You can also see this in e.g. Scott Brown's videos, "we failed this part of the inspection because we thought X was OK but we actually needed Y in addition to X", and that's from a builder who goes above and beyond on his work. Even if they're not cowboys, everyone slips up from time to time, and I want an inspector going through to double-check things.
