Private industry can inspect building for persons who contract to have
them
built and then be sued if they collapse. There's no need for an expensive
government agency with overworked underpaid inspectors subject to bribes.
The whole reason for the government agency is to collect money and exert
authority that they don't need to have. If it's your building you take
responsibility for making sure it's built right.
Tell mw why private inspectors would be more resisitant
to bribes than public inspectors.
Where I work, we contract with engineering firms for inspectors. The
construction manager, an engineer, is also private, but under a different
arrangement, as a contract employee. The overall supervision is from a
government agency.
In my area (not engineering), I contract with consultants to do most of the
actual
work, and I manage the consultants and the projects (not engineeriing)
As to your assertion about bribery, it is just as likely a private inspecor
would take a bribe, as it is likely a public one would do the same.
As far as government projects, it is ultimatley the government's
responsibility to be sure thery are properly built.
