Why a New Home Building Inspection is Important

A new home building inspection, also sometimes referred to as a construction progress building inspection or a staged inspection, is a thorough examination during various stages of a newly constructed home to ensure that it meets the specified building standards, codes, and the contract terms between the builder and the homeowner.

Common issues during these new construction inspections typically include the building quality, disputes about the homeowner/builder contract, or the scope of work involved.

Here are some key aspects why this inspection is important:

1. Ensures Quality and Safety

A new home inspection helps identify potential safety hazards or issues that could pose risks to occupants.

2. Identifies Defects

​​Millions of dollars are spent annually by new home builders to rectify defective work or resolve building disputes. A new home building inspection can reveal defects or substandard workmanship that may not be immediately apparent but could become costly problems down the line.

3. Negotiation Tool

If defects are found during the inspection process before closing on the property or moving in, it provides an opportunity for negotiation with the builder to rectify these issues.

4. Warranty Claims

Many builders offer warranties on their work. An inspection report can serve as documentation if you need to make warranty claims later on.

5. Peace of Mind

Knowing that your new home has been thoroughly inspected gives you peace of mind about its condition and reduces stress associated with potential hidden problems.
