Is this the first time he has mentioned the vents in the existing house? Was it covered on his previous advice or drawings, or scope of works?The existing part of the house where he wants us to retrofit vents was built in 1972. The extension has vents already.
Does the insulation used have IAB certification? The company should be able to supply evidence to satisfy the engineer if the product used is up to standards. Saying it's OK isn't good enough.
The vents are required to meet building regulations. Unless you have mechanical ventilation, you need vents in all rooms. It's not a big job to put these in now, but should have been planned for during construction.
I'd be concerned about the detail specification of this work. Is he qualified in both fields? Did he detail the insulation and ventilation on the plans given to the builder?
