The Builder is Managing the Project!

The reality is most home builders are very busy overseeing multiple job sites and many sub-contractors. The builders are focused on running a tight budget, and rely on their sub-contractors to "self-manage" many important areas of the build process. So whether your new home is built correctly or complies with the current building code strictly may depend on the knowledge and skill of the sub-contractors.

The skill and quality of the sub-contractors can vary greatly. Further, some sub-contractors are not licensed or regulated. As they say.....a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link.... and in this context it could be an employee who is in a hurry to go home who doesn't hook up a tub drain, or install the flashing around the roof vents.

Your builder is probably doing the best possible job, but it is through the independent Home Inspector's review that many items are discovered and corrected before they result in a situation that could cause damage or create a safety hazard in the home.

A home inspection is wise decision prior to taking ownership of your new investment.

The House Is New... What Could Be Wrong?

Even though the parts of the house you come in contact with every day appear to be fine, there's a lot more to your house than what you are seeing. Most homeowners don't have the knowledge or skill to determine whether the mechanical and structural components of a new home are installed and operating properly. Home Inspectors look critically at the home beneath its beauty and architecture to explore whether the mechanical and structural components of the house installed together properly, along with other home construction requirements.

Homeowners who do not obtain a home inspection will eventually learn about issues that might have been resolved prior to or shortly after closing on their new home. For some homeowners, it is not until they go to sell their home in the future that these issues are discovered by the buyer's Home Inspector. Most buyers of an existing home will obtain a home inspection prior to closing.

It is during these inspections that the Home Inspector finds items that were not done properly by the sub-contractors or contractor personnel. Unfortunately, the homeowner is usually asked to make the necessary repairs, and must in some manner invest time and money to resolve the problems.

An initial Home Inspection can reduce or eliminate the risk to the new homeowner of spending their money later to resolve issues.

The Municipal Building Inspector Looked at the Home!

New home construction is a very dynamic and complex industry. Due to the down turn in the economy the past few years, many cities have cut back on Building Code Inspectors. As a result, Municipal Building Inspectors are required to conduct a high volume of inspections each day. This leaves many inspectors overworked. The new home owner will normally never see these inspectors face to face to get an explanation or thorough evaluation of the mechanical and structural components of their new home. You can be assured that the Home Inspection you receive from Home Inspection and More includes personal time to explain the home's systems and the results of the report.

A Home Inspection can identify issues that were overlooked during the building process.
