Important note about new construction phase inspections:
Many builders require advance notice that you are planning to request phase inspections. Some require it to be in your contract with them up front, and others will limit you to only specific phases like the final inspection. It’s imperative to talk with your builder as early on as possible to ensure proper expectations and smooth scheduling.
Builders also require home inspection companies to carry higher levels of errors and omissions insurance, general liability insurance, and auto insurance before they are allowed onsite. Waypoint carries all necessary insurances at the levels required so we can fully assist you.
As you scroll through the different phases below, click on the sample reports to see the kind of items we look for during each phase and some of the issues that we may find. Even though the home is brand new, it’s important to have a set of eyes and ears looking out for your best interests. That’s where we come in.
Phase 1: Pre-Pour
This phase consists of a site inspection including rough grading and vegetation/debris that may impact structure and the foundation.
Phase 2: Pre-Drywall
This phase is completed after the rough framing has been installed along with the plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems. The pre-drywall phase allows us to discover potential issues before they are “hidden” behind the drywall.
Phase 3: Final
This phase is usually performed prior to the final walkthrough, and is similar to a comprehensive residential home inspection. We inspect the home in its entirety and test the major systems including the electrical, plumbing, and HVAC to ensure they work properly.
Phase 4: Warranty
Issues can develop in a home at any point in time, and many builders offer a 1-2 year warranty that covers specific items. With a warranty inspection we will come out around month 10 or 11 and complete a full comprehensive inspection. If we find any defects you can ask the builder to address them before the warranty expires.
