Has anyone made the switch from a commercial general contractor to building inspection?
I am considering a transition from my current position of project engineer to a career as a city building inspector. Can you advise me on if this transition will amount to less hours worked and lower stress? I am aware the pay will likely be less than my current position but I need to find something a bit less demanding as I approach the time in my life where I will start a family.
I currently work for a general contractor as part of the team building a 25 unit condo. My current days are 12 hours with a few 14 hour days thrown in here and there. I enjoy the construction field but I'm trying to find a way to stay in the industry while having a bit more balance to my life.
Responses from people who have made this transition are greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
