New Construction Inspection
The common misconception with a brand new home is everything was built correctly. Even with today’s stringent building codes, we still find defects with new homes, which will end up costing you money.
For new construction phase inspections, it is important to receive tentative dates from the builder for when they anticipate the property will be ready for each inspection.
Call us as soon as the first date is given, or

A New Construction Inspection is performed as 3 phase inspections.
PHASE I – Foundation
We recommend that the client consistently check to see the progress with the builders. They can easily get ahead of schedule, or fall behind schedule due to various conditions such as the weather.
~Basement – We need to come out after the forms (walls) are poured and before they backfill. (Before they backfill is KEY!)
~Slab – We need to come out after the exterior foundation walls are completed and the plumbing rough-ins are installed but before the concrete slab is poured.
~Crawl Space – We need to come out after the foundation is built but before backfilling and framing begins.
PHASE II – PRE-Drywall
This phase involves inspecting the electrical, plumbing, heat, and framing as soon as they are completed. We usually come out 1 to 3 days before they begin hanging the drywall.
PHASE III – FINAL Full Home Inspection
This phase involves inspecting the home after the building process is complete. The client will usually have a walk-thru with the builder about one week before they close on the home. We need to come out 1 to 3 days before this walk-thru. At this point in time, we are pretty well assured that the house is complete and the client still has time to address any possible issues with the builder before their closing. Additional Inspection Services may also be ordered at this time (i.e. Radon testing).
Because WE CARE about You as our client, we also offer a Free 90 Day Limited Warranty on your final Full Home Inspection service.
