| This type involves the inspection of new
homes under construction, at the end of construction or at the end of the
one-year builder’s warranty after the homeowner has occupied the home. With

codes or construction is critical. Many inspectors offer cosmetic walkthroughs
or inspections which are of little value to any potential new
homeowner. |

to a higher standard, they will also add both time and expense to the building
team. Your decision to conduct such an inspection may be met with resistance by
some builders, however, most of the professional builders welcome an additional
level of quality control and see it as a way of limiting their liability for
hidden/unexpected surprises.
