A new build is a great option when you are looking for a house. A new build allows you to select a lot and a floor plan and add personal touches to make it feel like your own home. With everything new, why not invest in a series home inspections for new construction? Let’s look at what is and why would you need a licensed inspector for the new build.

WHY YOU NEED A NEW CONSTRUCTION HOME INSPECTION

QUALITY GUARANTEE

Each masterplan and new home is overseen by a superintendent who supervises the work of subcontractors from various companies. For example, foundation, framing, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, roofing, etc. These trades are fast and can be used on multiple homes at once. Each system will be evaluated by a licensed inspector. Do not trust, but verify!

EASIER REPAIRS

It is easier to identify problems before insulation and drywall can be installed. It is possible to see the contents of the wall space and make repairs with minimal damage. It would be similar to doing surgery, except that the insulation and drywall are raised.

PEACE OF MIND

It is important to find out if there are any errors during the construction phase. This could help you save thousands. The mistake could lead to serious damage to the home, or unsafe living conditions. A home inspector provides peace of mind for your investment, wallet, and occupant safety. These problems can be fixed by the builder right from the beginning.

WHEN TO PERFORM NEW CONSTRUCTION HOME INSPECTIONS

DURING THE 11TH MONTH BUILDER WARRANTY

The final inspection takes place during the 11th month under the builder warranty. New home builders usually offer a one-year warranty on their homes.
