2-3 inspectors could help, but what about holding the actual inspectors accountable. I can understand missing something small on an inspection, but if the building is that fubared then maybe the guy who said it was OK shouldn't have a job anymore.

I don't know what the solution is though. I mean people almost always want the lowest possible price, and from a builders perspective you cannot provide quality at some of those prices. So the good GCs get undercut and the irresponsible ones learn how to game the system.
