Ditch your architect/draftsman and find another?
If you read the transcript, in my opinion it could be relevant, but I wouldn't try and advise a client to argue the case to a Planning Inspector!
I would have but we were too far into it (time and money) and it's a very basic thing we want doing.
Inspections are now risk assessed and are not just based on the work but the likelihood of a job being messed up by DIY/Romanian/proper builders.
With proper builders say, probably two visits - one to see the structure and supports, and one for completion.

Seriously?
Of course it does. I'd not trust an Inuit on anything that does not have walls of ice and a domed roof.
Apart from that, the risks of crap work increase when people don't actually know how to build, have no training in construction, (particularly UK methods and requirements), and no concept of building standards. A greater proportion of these people are recent imports.
Do they share their workings with the householder, or is it all in the mind of the inspector?
Workings?
They will tell you about the inspections either in the registration confirmation letter, or on site. Along with a note stating that there will be a charge for additional inspections.
