New Construction
Inspection

A brand-new home isn't automatically a flawless one. We inspect your new build beyond the minimum code requirements — catching faulty installations and safety concerns before you take possession, not after you've unpacked.

The misconception

New doesn't always mean flawless.

It's a common misconception that a new home doesn't need an inspection. In the past, that was left to local code enforcement — but construction procedures, materials, and installation methods change constantly, and code inspectors are stretched thin. Safety experts now strongly advise buyers and builders to bring in an independent professional.

Our new construction inspectors examine every system and structure, catching faulty installations and safety concerns early — during the build or right after it's finished. The result is what matters most: a safer, better home and a smarter investment for your family.

Every inspection covers

  • Structural framing & foundation
  • All major home systems
  • Builder & installation defects
  • Safety & code shortfalls
  • Photo-documented findings
  • A punch list for your builder

Every system, top to bottom.

    Why it matters

    Code is the floor. We inspect for better.

    Catch defects early

    Faulty installs and safety issues are far cheaper to fix while the builder's still on the hook — not after you've moved in and unpacked.

    An inspector who works for you

    Code inspectors work for the municipality. We're hired by you and answer to you alone, with no stake in the outcome but an honest report.

    Protect the investment

    A new home is one of the biggest purchases you'll make. A documented punch list makes sure it's built right before it's yours.

    Independent inspector reviewing a new construction home beyond code
    Independent & unbiased

    Code inspections only get you so far.

    A municipal inspection is required by law, but it only confirms your home meets the minimum requirements — and some cities haven't updated their codes in years, or only check at certain stages. Overworked code inspectors rarely have time to examine every detail.

    Our inspectors are hired by you and work for you alone. We have no vested interest in the outcome except giving you an objective, unbiased report — so you know your new home is safe and sound, not just barely passing.

    Common questions

    New construction FAQs

    It does — but code is the minimum a home must meet, not a measure of quality. Code inspectors work for the city, are often overworked, and may only check at certain stages. An independent inspection looks at the details they don't.
    Ideally before you take possession, so any faulty installations or safety concerns can be corrected while your builder is still responsible. We can also inspect during the build.
    Everything a full home inspection covers — structure, exterior, roofing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, insulation and ventilation, interior, and the fireplace — documented with photos in a report you can hand to your builder.
    Yes. We work with you, your builder, and any other vested parties to make sure the home is safe and sound. You get a clear punch list to resolve before closing.
    If repairs are made after your inspection, contact us within 30 days and we'll review your case. Qualifying homes can be reinspected for $60.
