You will have the security of knowing you have a complete and accurate account of your home's construction as well as the advantage of the opportunity to document construction defects during construction. By finding the problem early, the builder and subcontractors can make the necessary corrections during early construction. New construction inspection packages can consist of daily visits or specific phase inspections such as foundation, pre-drywall inspections, or final pre-closing and end of warranty inspections. A home inspection should not be confused with a code inspection, that is done by the local building inspections department.

End of warranty inspections for a newly constructed home nearing the end of the builder’s 1-year warranty period, also sometimes referred to as "11 month" inspections, is, potentially, of such importance to the new homeowner that its importance cannot be overstated. A professional end of warranty inspection can provide your builder with a thorough, written summary of any defects to be corrected while your new home is still under warranty.
