Code of Ethics
Code of Ethics of the Canadian Association of Home and Property Inspectors (British Columbia)
Effective January 1, 2001
Honesty, justice, and courtesy form a moral philosophy which, associated with mutual interest among people, constitutes the foundation of ethics. The members should recognise such a standard, not in passive observance, but as a set of dynamic principles guiding their conduct. It is their duty to practice the profession according to this code of ethics.
As the keystone of professional conduct is integrity, the Members will discharge their duties with fidelity to the public, their clients, and with fairness and impartiality to all. They should uphold the honour and dignity of their profession and avoid association with any enterprise of questionable character, or apparent conflict of interest.
- The member will express an opinion only when it is based on practical experience and honest conviction.
- The member will always act in good faith toward each client.
- The member will not disclose any information concerning the results of the inspection without the approval of the clients or their representatives.
- The member will not accept compensation, financial or otherwise, from more than one interested party for the same service without the consent of all interested parties.
- The member will not accept nor offer commissions or allowances, directly or indirectly, from other parties dealing with their client in connection with work for which the member is responsible.
- The member will promptly disclose to his or her client any interest in a business that may affect the client. The member will not allow an interest in any business to affect the quality of the results of their inspection work, which they may be called upon to perform. The inspection work may not be used as a vehicle by the inspector to deliberately obtain work in another field.
- An inspector shall make every effort to uphold, maintain, and improve the professional integrity, reputation, and practice of the home inspection profession. He or she will report all such relevant information, including violations of this Code by other members, to the Association for possible remedial action.

 Chris discovered a potential deal breaker during a pre-listing inspection that my client had repaired before her house went on the market. It sold in a few days.
Victoria Bell, Dexter Associates
I liked your honesty, straight-forwardness and your concern for my personal safety. You just saved me $300,000... thanks!

The photos pointing out problem areas, the summary and supplemental information were great.
R. Marks, Vancouver
The inspector told us his findings as he went along. The detailed findings and pictures are nicely put together in a binder.
S. Peters, Langley
The inspector was easy to talk to and allowed me ample time for questions. He was extremely patient and I felt comfortable.
C. Salgado, Richmond
The very thorough evaluation of our purchase allowed us to make our decision confidently. Excellent value and service for the money.

Once again, thanks for doing the inspections and answering my follow-up questions. Both my wife and I greatly appreciate it. I will definitely recommend you to my friends in the future when they are looking for a house inspector.
