Phase Inspection Process

During the building process, there are three windows of opportunity in which you should take advantage of the recommendation to have a third-party inspector review and report on the quality of the craftsmanship and construction of your new home. In order to guarantee that major building flaws within your property are not hidden from view, the traditional 3-phase inspection technique is performed.

Pre-pour Foundation Inspection

Two days before the day that the actual pour would take place. Because of this, the foundation will be much more likely to be ready for inspection. This provides the contractor with sufficient time to make any and all necessary modifications, or to postpone the day that the pour is scheduled to take place.

Framing Inspection

Walk-through with a framework. During this stage of the construction process, the builder will attempt to guarantee that all of the previously discussed and agreed upon design criteria have been appropriately incorporated into the house.

Final Inspection

The final inspection should be scheduled a few days before your scheduled walk-through with your builder. The final inspection is conducted as part of a real estate transaction. it is regulated by the local Real Estate Commission. The final inspection incorporates all the major systems in

the home.
