New Construction Inspection
An independent check of a newly built home before you close, so problems are on the builder’s punch list instead of yours.
A new home has passed its code inspections, but code inspections are not the same as a full home inspection. Our team has hands-on experience in custom home building, so we know where new houses tend to come up short: grading, flashing, attic insulation, crawl space vapour barriers and finish details.
We inspect the finished home before your final walkthrough and give you a clear, photo-based list you can hand straight to the builder.
What it covers
- Everything in our residential inspection, on a brand-new home
- Roof installation details and flashing at walls and penetrations
- Grading, downspouts and drainage away from the foundation
- Crawl space vapour barrier, insulation and framing
- Thermal imaging for missing insulation and hidden moisture
- Finish items: doors, windows, trim, caulking and fixtures
Who it is for
- Buyers of new homes from production or custom builders
- Buyers who want a list for the builder before the final walkthrough
When to book
Schedule after the home is finished and the utilities are on, a few days before your final walkthrough.
Every new construction inspection is led by Andrew McLester, a licensed North Carolina home inspector and military veteran, backed by a team with contractor, realtor and drone pilot licences. We serve Pinehurst, Southern Pines, Whispering Pines and Moore, Richmond, Cumberland, Hoke and Scotland counties.
