What Is A New Construction Inspection?

A new construction inspection is a home inspection of a brand new home typically before closing. This inspection ensures the home is completed and everything was completed properly.

New construction homes in Tampa Bay have been found to have missing insulation, improperly installed roofing materials and much more.

Different Phases of a New Construction Inspection

Many people believe that just because a home is new, it’s in perfect condition. This is a false belief that can cost you money and cause headaches down the road. Our goal is to catch problems during the home’s construction so that they can be addressed right away. Here are the different phases we can inspect:

pre-pour inspection on new construction
Phase 1

Pre-Pour Inspection

This phase consists of a site inspection including rough grading and vegetation/debris that may impact structure and the foundation.

Phase 2

Pre-Drywall Inspection

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 Inspection

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 Inspection

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.

Our inspector, Eddie Braswell, was friendly and thoroughly professional. He made sure we understood what he was doing and what the results meant. He also informed us of a couple of issues that he felt required consultation with people who had specialized knowledge and experience in order to determine the extent of the issues and the potential costs. As a result we chose to not move forward with this home purchase but we absolutely would turn to Eddie and Waypoint when we consider another home.

Eddie from Waypoint came to inspect our home for a pre-drywall inspection and did a phenomenal job! Even if the house is new many things were pointed out that needed to be fixed! Our construction manager even said it was one of the best he had never seen! Thank you Waypoint!
Jim was very thorough and explained everything he found, ensuring our new build was ready for move in. I would highly recommend him!

The crew was very professional. Nicely dressed and arrived on time. They went straight to work and were very thorough! I was very pleased with their professionalism and courtesy. They provided a complete binder with photos and a clear explanation of what they found. I highly recommend this company.
