Windows are one of, if not the most important part of the building envelope.. pretty important they are installed correctly.

a good junk of the leaky condo crisis was caused by bad installation of windows.

in response to GLOW, i would think that if the inspector recognized the installers, and knew they were reputable, he would simply look at a window or two and walk away.

Thing with the windows is the inspector who inspects them is just a the general inspector for structural stuff, i'm not sure how crazy they are in terms of reporting illegal suites etc. but Vancouver has notoriously anal inspectors, and with that stop work order on the record now, i wouldnt doubt the guy looks for further infractions or work done to the house which may not be up to code when he comes to inspect the windows
