Why a New Construction Home Inspection?

There are often people calling and asking why they should spend money on a home inspection for a newly built home. This is a perfectly logical question as anybody would think: "Shouldn't a brand new home be perfect?" No, because of something called construction oversights.

When construction workers and builders don't install a component or system in a home, it's considered a construction oversight. Construction oversights occur during the building of a home and can only be caught during certain stages of the building process. A quality home inspection will find construction oversights and then the contractor can take care of them before the close of the real estate transaction. About 90% of the homes we inspect have a few oversights.

Common oversights that we find include incomplete electrical systems, incomplete plumbing, gutters that are incorrectly installed, missing roofing components, fireplaces that are incomplete and many others. The reasons construction oversights occur vary from inadvertent omissions to just plain bad construction practices. The building of a new home is a complex choreography of many subcontractors. Each subcontractor is dependent on everyone doing their jobs in a given time frame. When there are delays the scheduling of the subcontractors quickly becomes a nightmare. Subcontractors may be working on many homes at one time and without careful coordination inadvertent oversights occur. An experienced home inspector will find these problems and help reduce the headaches of the buyer before they purchase the home.

We also help you understand your new home and its systems. We'll show you where to reset circuit breakers for various systems like the garage or outdoor electrical outlets. You will be informed on what to expect in the first year. For example, it is typical to have a few nail pops here and there as the home settles. Also, we offer the service of doing a follow-up inspection to find specific issues that you should address when servicing the home warranty before it expires. In many cases, we'll uncover warranty issues which would cost more to resolve than the cost of the follow-up inspection, thus saving you even more money.

Hiring an experienced home inspector to complete a diligent inspection of your newly constructed home is a wise decision. Be informed about your new home and make a successful transition.
