Building a new home? Don’t skip critical phase inspections. Here’s a quick guide to the most important checkpoints during construction:
🔹 Footing & Foundation Inspection
Completed before concrete is poured and before backfill. We verify excavation depth, soil conditions, reinforcement, drainage, footing layout, foundation walls or slab, waterproofing, anchoring, and overall structural workmanship—the base your entire home depends on.
🔹 Pre-Drywall Inspection
One of the most valuable inspections. Done after framing, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC rough-ins are complete—but before insulation and drywall cover everything up. We inspect framing quality, wiring, ductwork, plumbing, and hidden defects.
🔹 Pre-Closing Inspection
Before your final walkthrough and closing. We review finishes, systems, appliances, doors/windows, roofing, grading, and make sure construction items were completed properly.
🔹 11-Month / One-Year Warranty Inspection
Before your builder warranty expires. We identify settlement cracks, moisture concerns, HVAC issues, roofing defects, drainage problems, and other items that should be addressed while still covered.
Protect your investment at every stage. A third-party inspection gives peace of mind and helps catch issues before they become expensive problems.
