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.

Great experience working with Waypoint! We inquired about an inspection on a new build and the team made this a very simple process. Special thanks to Laurie for walking us through the process and to Oliver as well who gave us a very thorough report!

Jeff did a great job for us. He was thorough and took time to explain his findings with us. This inspection gave us the peace of mind we needed around our home purchase
Oliver did a great job with our inspection was very helpful and honest we felt. Also we didn’t feel like he was in a hurry to quickly get the job done to move onto the next job. Oliver explained everything about the house and showed us how certain things even worked in the house that we had no clue about since we are first time homeowners!! I highly recommend Oliver for the job of inspections not sure how great the other inspectors are with waypoint but I know if we ever purchase again we will be putting in a request to only have Oliver Peebles to complete our inspections!!! Thanks for the great , honest inspection!

Donnie was exceptional! He did a thorough inspection and never once did he make the buyer feel like they should not buy the house. He gave the buyer good tips and proper maintenance ideas for the house, Pointed out the things that did need, addressing before passing an inspection, and spoke to my client as if the house was already hers. As a real estate agent, you always want a great inspector as a partner, so that transactions can go through smoothly. Waypoint is the way!

Waypoint Property Inspection did a great job inspecting the home we have under contract in New Tampa. Our real estate agent recommended Waypoint and we couldn't be happier. The inspection was thorough and the report was easy to read and understand. We received our report promptly and felt confident in the findings as we are relocating to Tampa from out of state and couldn't be present on the day of the inspection. Thank you Waypoint!
