Here is my story-putting an addition on to home-inspector has a copy of floor plan-after 5 months of construction (ourselves) we had to have inspector OK everything again, so we could insulate,drywall etc. He said that we do not have enough natural light coming in and have to put another window in! There is only 1 exterior wall and 2 --2'2'' x 3'10" already installed in our 14" x 18" bedroom and we do not want a skylight in our room, so we are not sure what were going to do. Anyway I think this should have been known, before building and the plan not OK'd. So, I think he is wrong in how he calculated #"s on my walls yesterday or the possibility that the designer was wrong in determining size of windows and inspector was still wrong for obviously not reviewing plans before. I can't figure his scribble #s out. Can anyone help me, please? I am ready to go insane with this entire construction nightmare! I hope everybody is having a good start of 2007! GOOD DAY!

Natural light required for a habitable room has to be 10% of the internal room floor area.

If a room has 20 sqm of floor area, the window must at least has 2 sqm of area. Say a window that measured 1.2 m D x 2 m W complies with the requirement.

The real question should be How much money is he asking for? It sounds like a wanted pay off to me.
