I don't quite understand why more bureucracy would be needed to enforce something that's already illegal.

In a perfect world, licensing contractors and inspecting work sounds good. Well I guess in a perfect world all contractors are honest, competent, and never cut corners. However in practice it's often another story. I know of a fellow, basically built his entire house himself. Framed it, wired it, plumbed it. Building inspection sign-offs were a formality. The county inspector would come out, take a sweeping glance around, and sign it off, and be gone in under 5 minutes.
