New Construction Inspection

What are the Phases of a New Construction Inspection?

Pre-Drywall Installation Inspection

Pre-drywall inspections are a crucial step in the construction process. These inspections cover various aspects of the construction, such as ensuring that all electrical and plumbing systems are correctly installed, checking the insulation and ventilation systems, and ensuring the building adheres to safety codes and regulations.

• Warped, missing, or defective framing
• Exterior electrical and lighting fixtures
• Inspect the wood being used as well as the placement
• Check exterior walls, sheeting, windows and sealants
• Framing fasteners and connectors
• Anchor bolts, fire blocking, and truss ties
• HVAC rough-ins and duct conditions will examine several elements during a New Construction Home Inspection, and it’s important to remember that each component plays a crucial role in the structural stability of your home. Even minor issues, such as using subpar timber or ignoring a slight frame warp, may seem insignificant initially, but they can result in significant repair costs in the long run.

• Walls, ceilings and floors
• Doors and windows
• Fireplaces and chimneys
• Porches, decks, driveways and patios
