Room 106

Facilitator: Alden E. Gibson, RHI, ACI, NCI, Inspections by Gibson

As professional Home Inspectors we are constantly looking for the key Deficiencies in the homes we inspect.  Being able to identify the most basic and important Defects is imperative. To describe and clearly report to our clients the Who, What, Where, When and Why is a crucial and key component of our jobs as home inspectors. This condensed Defect Recognition session will outline and help inspectors, both new and veteran, to identify the top 10 Deficiencies found by home inspectors from across Canada.  The list will include items relating to plumbing, roofing, electrical, heating and cooling, structure and the exterior and interior components of the average Canadian residential home.

More experienced inspectors will benefit from a fresh look at the most up-to-date home inspection Standard of Practice in the industry. After all, if you’ve been doing the same thing for a decade or two, your inspection practices and reports are probably out of date!

Your visit to Halifax will simply not be complete without experiencing a scenic sailing cruise on the world's second-largest natural harbour – the Halifax Harbour. Join us aboard Halifax’s signature ship, the Tall Ship Silva, for local, live music and to see the sights, city, and coastline, from a unique perspective. While on board our historic, three-masted schooner, you’ll see some of Halifax’s most well-known landmarks including Georges Island National Historic Site, the Historic Properties, the vibrant waterfront, and the scenic Northwest Arm.
