ᐅ Tip for finding a last-minute building inspector for final inspection (Hessen)?

Hello,
next Wednesday we have the final inspection of our house scheduled.
We had planned to be accompanied by a friend who is an architect at this appointment.
Unfortunately, they are now unable to attend at short notice due to illness :-(

Does anyone have a recommendation for where we can quickly find an expert or a specialist who can advise us during the house inspection?
It concerns a detached single-family house (prefabricated house) in the Odenwald region, with a basement.

Does your architect know any colleagues they can recommend?

Don’t you know an architect colleague you could recommend?

Of course, I have thought of that...

Unfortunately, I can’t burden my friend with something like that in his current health condition ( 🙁), and if he does know someone, those colleagues tend to be about 200 meters (125 miles) away...

So, we found an architect who can accompany us for the inspection on short notice....

Are there any tips, tricks, or key points for building inspections where you almost always find something, even if it’s not immediately obvious?

I also want to avoid a situation where, shortly before the inspection date, something is merely covered up with an "anti-mold paint" or similar, or openings and coverings remain closed off, only for me to discover issues years later...

For many issues, the final inspection is actually already too late. The house is plastered, so you can no longer see any defects underneath.
