If he’s doing the CE&I and let it pass, then he has nobody to blame but himself. Knowing it’s wrong and certifying that it’s right entails a lot of professional risk in this industry. I suspect his concerns aren’t too serious or someone else is certifying the work. One other situation I can imagine is that the risk is outside his domain. Example: I saw a company scrape flat clays out of a roadway and use that material as fill for slab-on-grade foundations of duplexes. I wouldn’t expect those to last long, but the developer is also the owner, so he’s only hurt himself. I don’t find the owner to be particularly sympathetic, I only certified the road construction, and the only person to report the poor practice to is the owner himself, who also hired the crew.
