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.

Because he would be an employee being supervised by the people paying him,
who are more likely to keep a sharp eye on him. When you have a governemtn
agency involved people tend to think that all they need to be assured. If
you are having something built and it's your money on the line, you want to
make sure the people you pay are giving you your money's worth.
It's not "fool" proof, I grat you. Turning it over to government is less
perfect. Private Inspectors would have more to lose.

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.

And you have to wait for their schedule and sometiimes follow rules that are
overkill.

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.

I doubt it since they would be paid better the government agents.

As far as government projects, it is ultimatley the government's
responsibility to be sure thery are properly built.

Civil service jobs being the most highly qualified and tightly controlled?
No cost overruns?
