New Construction Inspections

Make sure you're protected before you even move in.

New Construction Inspection

Solve problems before they start.

While all new home companies have the best intentions when building communities, things get missed. Builders utilize subcontractors, and, in current times, many subcontractors are undertrained and inexperienced. You are about to make one of the most significant investments of your life, and it is essential to have someone watching out for your best interests. Absolute Home Inspections will go through the property, checking every visible detail and documenting what was missed and needs to be corrected before you move in.

 

We will evaluate the roof, the structure, the plumbing, the HVAC system, and the electrical system to ensure that everything has been built and installed to current safety standards.

 

We will take the time to educate you on utility operations and ensure you are comfortable with all aspects of your new home before moving in. Absolute Home Inspections will then provide a detailed legal report detailing all issues so that you can take it back to the builder and have them correct them. On average, a brand-new build has many cosmetic and noncosmetic items that need to be corrected. This report allows you to have the builder resolve those issues quickly and on time.

Home Inspection - when should you get one?

When should you get a home inspection on a new construction?

It's crucial to schedule a home inspection for a new construction home before the closing process. New builds often have unnoticed issues that require a trained eye to detect. After the construction is completed and the house is ready to move into, it's essential to have someone like us conduct a thorough inspection and provide a timely report. This will help identify any flaws that need to be addressed by the builder.

Do you need a home inspection for new construction?

Do I need a home inspection for my new construction?

The builder will tell you NO. They will try to reassure you by saying that the city has already inspected it, that they have their own inspection team, and that you should not worry if they missed anything. They gave you a 12-month warranty. 

That said, on average, we find 12-15 items that need to be repaired or replaced before the move-in date.

​

The question you need to ask yourself is, "Would I like the issues resolved prior to moving in my family and all our belongings, or do I want to deal with a warranty company to get these items resolved?"
