I am a Protective Coatings Inspector by trade. Inspectors and Surveyors are from the same mold. The client assumes that the Inspector knows his/her job and thus reacts to the reports appropriately. Unfortunately, there are many, that for lack of a bettter expression, make $hit up and people tend to believe them. From my personal experience I can say that the 'make $hit up' crowd are usually very incompetant. Not just from the $hit they make up but also from the fact that they didn't really inspect like they were supposed to, so they are compelled to make the client feel like they did something. If they were to state something was not in compliance they would have actually had to look at it so they make $hit up.
