INCLUDED IN THIS INSPECTION

New Construction Home Inspection

It’s a common misconception that a new home construction doesn’t require a home inspection, but this notion is far from accurate. In truth, a phase inspection during the building process is an essential step that can help you uncover potential issues and avert expensive repairs down the line. This inspection offers a unique chance to assess and safeguard the inner workings of your home, particularly before the installation of drywall.

While constructing your home, the phase inspection becomes a pivotal opportunity to identify any underlying problems. This is the prime moment to gain insight into the home’s systems and components, as once the drywall is in place, detecting and addressing issues becomes significantly more complicated and costly.

Furthermore, collaborating with our inspectors for the final inspection delivers a strategic advantage. It equips you with the necessary leverage to ensure the home builder addresses any necessary repairs before the closing process. This final walkthrough empowers you to take proactive steps, securing a well-constructed and problem-free home.
