Phase inspections can make sure that your newly built home doesn’t have hidden issues.

The Dallas-Fort Worth real estate market continues to be crazy competitive in 2022, and because of a shortage of available properties, many buyers are choosing to build a home or purchase a newly built home.

Do you need a home inspector for a new home? Yes! 

A newly built home hasn’t been tested by having someone live in it to find all the little problems and missed details from construction, so having an inspector put the home’s systems through some stress is a great idea before you move in. Whether it’s before you break ground, or after the last nail has been hammered, a home inspector can help you catch any problems and have them fixed before you move in.
Here are some #HomeInspectionFinds from phase inspections on new homes:

1. Phase 1 Inspection: Faulty Foundation

This Pre-Pour (or Phase 1) Inspection video makes it absolutely clear why you might want an inspector to check the structure before the concrete gets poured. The inspector finds multiple problems that, if not corrected, would have caused needless damage in time.

2. Phase 2: One Size Does Not Fit All

In this Pre-Drywall (or Phase 2) Inspection, the inspector finds improper materials in use that could make an unhappy end to a future patio party. Without this inspection, the drywall would have covered up the shoddy work, and no one would have been the wiser.

3. Final Inspection: Framing The Problem

Thinking outside the box is not a good thing in home construction. Attention to detail: F.

Framing-Inspection

When it comes to a house, “new” doesn’t necessarily mean that everything is in perfect condition. Builders are human, and there is a lot of pressure to get houses built in this market, which means mistakes happen. If you’re building a home, find a home inspector who does phase inspections.
