As a contractor who bid the job to specs and didn't get the job, I would be very angry if I found out the other EC didn't follow specs. In fact, I would report it.
I absolutely agree. The contractor should have some ethics; I've dealt with a few contractors that lowball bids as far as %50 lower than the cost estimate and try to cut corners. Bottom line is it makes everyone's life more difficult.
Also, if the local laws require inspection per spec then it should be done. There are plenty of local regulations all over the place that can make any profession more complicated - that doesn't mean the regulation has no value.
