A new home inspection, also known as new construction or phase inspection, is an invaluable service for any new home buyer. Buyers should seek a reliable third-party opinion regarding the quality and installation practices being utilized on their new home during the building process.

The new home construction process can be an unexpectedly overwhelming experience for anyone. Having a professional new construction inspector to help guide you through the home building process will absolutely bring value to your future purchase. You may wonder why you need an inspection on a new construction home that is supposed to come with warranties and assurance. However, you might be surprised at how many issues can be found by an unbiased outside inspector. Low-quality building material, incorrectly installed roofing or insulation, and open junction boxes are just some of the things that can be missed.

Although many builders are great about completing repair work discovered within your first few months of living there, some are the opposite. After you close, they are no longer interested in what needs to be fixed and your name is put at the bottom of a long list.

With a new construction inspector helping you throughout the building process, these issues will be found immediately and fixed before closing.

There are three opportunities during the building cycle when it is recommended to have your third-party inspector evaluate and report on the workmanship and construction of your new home. The standard 3-phase, new construction inspection process is utilized to ensure that major defects within your home are not covered up. Knowing that your new home is being constructed in accordance with the International Residential Code (IRC) and is in total compliance with all state-mandated regulations, will ensure your peace of mind.
