Buying a “new build” provides a unique opportunity for clients. When buying older buildings,  only visible surface level items can be inspected. When building a new place, most clients have the option to conduct an independent inspection of the interior components of the building during construction. This is becoming a more common practice that is known as a pre-drywall inspection or phased new construction inspection. This inspection is performed prior to the installation of drywall to evaluate framing, mechanicals, plumbing, electrical methods, and much more.

When a new building is being built, multiple contractors are in and out of the property working on the different aspects of the construction. Plumbers to electricians to framers to heating and cooling technicians all working independently to get their portions of the job done.

This can sometimes lead to items being overlooked and can also result in construction defects of varying degrees. However, many of these defects are covered up and not visible prior to your final pre-purchase inspection. This is why it’s so important to inspect a new construction after the rough-in phase. Our independent inspection help clients ensure that the building is constructed properly, which will lead to fewer problems in the future.
