Each home is unique in terms of construction. Weather conditions, quality of materials and the estimated 5,000 man-hours it
takes to build a home mean that there is no way any home will be perfect. The skill levels of the trades are different on
every site and are different every day!
Builders earn their reputations largely on customer service. Let us help you assemble a list for your builder so they can
demonstrate why they have such a great reputation!

Great question. Maybe you seem to be ok and really don't need an inspection. But, there are close to 300 building details
covered by the Construction Performance Guidelines that are rightfully yours. If you don't know what they are or don't know
how to look for them, you may be leaving some items off your list for the builder. In our experience, a newly built home
will have an average of 25+ items to be noted on the year end paperwork. The other great outcome of an inspection is the
added confidence you have living in your new home. You will have a better understanding of how the home works as a system
and how to maintain/lower costs of ownership. The end result? Lower anxiety levels when things don't work the way they
should.

You don't need to do anything. Walking through your new home with an experienced inspector who has your best interests at
heart can only help you feel more comfortable as a homeowner. Some clients want us there every step of the way. Others
would like a second set of eyes at the Pre Delivery Inspection. While some owners feel that it is best waiting until the
Year-End inspection after everything has had time to settle. You need to be comfortable with your decision based on your
experience, knowledge of construction and personal situation. Click here for a description of services provided.

emailed to you within 24 hours.

We will certainly be able to help you determine if the dispute is legitimately a builder issue. We won't fight your
battles on site as we don't run that sort of a business. You are better served by a company that specializes in dispute
resolution.
