Here is the recommendation from Austin-Steve:

Quote:
No matter whether you use a Realtor or not, hire a third party inspector to inspect the home at the 3 main stages of construction (at dry-in before sheetrock, after rough-in, and at completion).

The builder may tell you this is not necessary but do it anyway. You have a right to have your home inspected. I promise you things will be found that the builder will have to fix. And I also promise you if you don't have it inspected, the people you sell to in 3 to 5 years will have it inspected and they'll find the builder defects at that time, long after you have any recourse against the builder.
Austin-Steve is an experienced realtor and good common 'sensical' guy - he mentions three major phases, so I thought I'd pass this along.
