Yes, even a new home should be inspected by an unbiased professional. Many of the defects we discover as we inspect older homes date to the original construction. Some builders cut corners and even honest builders make mistakes. A new construction inspection can help provide peace of mind knowing that your new home is well built. This type of inspection should be performed by a qualified individual certified by the International Code Council. PHS proudly meets this criteria.
A common misconception would have you believe that the purpose of the municipal inspector is to protect the consumer from poor construction practices. This is partially true. Here is an interesting article that looks at some potential problems with a new home construction. Municipal Inspectors are charged with enforcing the code. The building code is a set of standards adopted by the community to ensure the MINIMUM standards are met in construction of new structures. These individuals are not there to ensure the quality of construction standards and adherence to manufacturer's installation instructions. You simply cannot rely solely on the municipal inspector to protect your interests.
A new construction inspection is especially important if you are one of the many homebuyers purchasing from another area. We can be your representative monitoring the progress and ensuring your concerns are addressed.
Sometimes referred to one year, or 11-month inspections. It is prudent to have a thorough inspection performed prior to expiration of this warranty. Our home warranty inspection is the same as our standard inspection and we place detailed emphasis on concerns of our client. This inspection ultimately could save you hundred to thousands of dollars if a defect is found and needs to be corrected under warranty.
