CAHPI (Atlantic)
is a self-regulated body of Home and Property Inspectors, that is
a part of the Canadian Association of Home and Property Inspectors.
The Canadian Association of Home and Property Inspectors (Atlantic)
defines the qualifications and performance requirements; regulating
its members and granting the designation "Registered
Home Inspector" to qualified practitioners in the provinces of Nova
Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Price Edward Island.
Home inspections began as a consumer service in the 1970's in direct
response to the growing demand by the home buyers, and it soon became
apparent that for the consumer, selecting a qualified Home Inspector
was becoming as important as selecting a qualified Real Estate professional,
or even the right home.
The Canadian Association of Home and Property Inspectors (CAHPI) was
formed in 1982, and is the national organization of duly recognized
provincial/regional associations. The CAHI (Atlantic), formed in 1997
is the Atlantic member of CAHPI.
One of the major goals of the Canadian Association of Home and Property
Inspectors (Atlantic) is to enhance the technical and professional
performance of home inspectors through education. It is also devoted
to promoting the Standards of Practice and Code of Conduct, as the
broadly accepted requirements for home inspectors.
