CONSTRUCTION INSPECTIONS
NEW CONSTRUCTION INSPECTIONS
New construction inspections are performed at the completion of construction, but prior to your final walk through with the builder or superintendent. This is a great tool to assist you in developing an all-inclusive “punch list” that could save you from spending your own money down the road. It is always a good idea to verify that utilities (e.g., gas, water, electric) have been turned on, either by you or the builder, depending on the builder's policy. The inspection should be scheduled a few days before your final walk through with the builder. This will ensure that last-minute items have been completed prior to your inspection. At the conclusion of the inspection, a comprehensive electronic report complete with pictures will be delivered to you.
PHASE I / PRE-FOUNDATION
The first phase of the new construction inspection process starts when the home’s foundation make-up has been complete, and the builder is ready to pour concrete. The purpose of the pre-pour inspection is to help spot-check the overall quality of work before the concrete is poured over the excavated beams, reinforcing bars, plumbing, & post-tensioned cable system.
