New Construction Home Inspections
What's Included in a New Home Inspection?
🏗️ Catch Issues Before Closing
A new construction home inspection helps identify defects, incomplete work, and installation concerns before you finalize the purchase. Even brand-new homes can have items that need correction.
🧰 Built For New Homes, Not Just Older Ones
New homes may look great on the surface, but problems can still exist with roofing, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, grading, framing, insulation, and finish work. A fresh build still deserves a thorough inspection.
📸 Photo/Video-Rich Reports With Clear Explanations
Our reports include detailed photos/videos, clear notes, and practical recommendations so you can better understand what was found and what may need attention before closing.
✅ Helpful For Builder Punch Lists
A new home inspection can help you create a more complete punch list for the builder, making it easier to address concerns before move-in or before the warranty period begins.
⏱️ Fast Scheduling And Quick Turnaround
Construction and closing timelines move fast. We offer efficient scheduling and same day new construction inspection report delivery to help you stay on track.
Frequently Asked New Home Inspection Questions
Should I get a building inspection on a new home?
Yes. Even newly built homes can have defects, incomplete items, or workmanship issues. A new construction home inspection can help identify concerns before closing so you have a clearer understanding of the home’s condition.
When should I schedule a home inspection for new construction?
The best time is before closing, once major systems and finishes are installed and utilities are on. Many buyers also choose a pre-drywall inspection earlier in the build so important items can be reviewed before walls are closed in.
Should you get a home inspection on a new build?
Yes. A new build can still have issues with roofing, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, grading, insulation, windows, doors, and finish work. An independent inspection helps catch problems the builder or municipal inspection may not focus on. A lot of home builders will not allow their superintendents to walk on the roofs or in the attics.
When should you get a home inspection on new construction?
Most buyers schedule one inspection before drywall, if possible, and another before final closing. If you can only do one, the final inspection before closing is usually the most important.
What does a new construction home inspection include?
A new construction home inspection typically includes a review of the roof, exterior, grading, structure, attic, insulation, doors, windows, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and interior finishes, along with visible defects, incomplete items, and safety concerns.
What is the best time to inspect a new construction home?
The best time is before closing, when the home is substantially complete and utilities are active. A pre-drywall inspection is also valuable earlier in the process if you want to identify issues before finishes are installed.
My builder says the home already passed QA and county inspections. Do I still need my own inspection?
Yes. Builder quality checks and county inspections are important, but they are not the same as having your own independent home inspection. Municipal inspections are typically limited in scope (sometimes at the home less than 10-15 minutes) and focused on code compliance at certain stages, while a private inspection is focused on the home’s overall condition, visible defects, workmanship concerns, and items that may matter to you as the buyer before closing. An independent inspection gives you another layer of protection and can help identify issues that may still need correction.
What new home builders do you perform new home inspections for?
We perform new home inspections for many builders across our service area. That includes national, regional, and local builders such as DR Horton Homes, Lennar Homes, Maronda Homes, Meritage Homes, Limitless Homes, Benchmark Homes, Heritage Homes, Adams Homes, DSLD Homes, Valere Homes, and more. No matter who the builder is, our goal is the same, to provide an independent inspection that helps you better understand the condition of the home before closing.
