I've a lawyer who's asking me if its a legal structure & the seller said they got confirmation form their surveyor, that the structure is legal.

Heard that ppl in the construction industry use international codes as a guide but it's optional. Well when it comes to people's lives safety is NOT merely an option, it should be mandatory, especially as Tuesday's quake wasn't 'the big one' according to seismologists.
Somebody hadda start a petition or something.

We already have that. Call the Designs Engineering Branch of the Ministry of Works and Transport and ask them for a copy of the list of codes that they use to evaluate structures in Trinidad and Tobago.
Contact the Bureau of Standards to purchase Trinidad and Tobago standard : guide to the design and construction of small buildings TTS 599: 2006. That guide can be used in the design of small structures up to two storeys in height.
People just put their trust in people who call themselves "builders" in T&T, which 9 times out of 10, is the worst thing for them to do.
I recently did an inspection of a 2NR's house that is being built and which was royally messed up by a "builder". Now the 2NR has to go spend additional money to have retrofitting designed and installed on a new structure.

What are some of the telltale and more subtle signs that a 'builder' is ripping you off?
