This post is about new construction inspection rather than new house inspection. Very different from each other because this is more for a phased approach rather than just an overall general inspection.
Not very different- completed, or near completed, or in-progress inspections ALL should have any inspection and remediation stipulations written in during initial negotiations.
We had an inspector look over a new build after we had moved in and had a number of issues. That won't happen again(no inspections during construction), as we will have inspections during the build if we go that way in the future. One of the best things the inspector did for us was to reassure us that some of what we thought were issues were, in fact, OK given the price of the house and the nature of the construction. In other words, you aren't going to get perfection at a mid range price point. Floors may not be perfectly level, and the drywall may have an imperfection or two.We had the builder fix the big issues, and didn't worry about the minor stuff.
In other words, you aren't going to get perfection at "any price"...
I just had to correct that for you- it wasn't perfect; but it is now!
