Many people would associate home inspections with older houses that have had time to develop the problems that come with general wear and tear. So, does that mean it is not necessary to inspect newly
constructed homes? No, it is still a good idea to have a brand-new home inspected. Even if you are having your own home built involving your home inspector is very beneficial. Here’s why:
During the construction process, it’s only natural to expect that mistakes will happen. It is when these mistakes go unnoticed or are accidentally covered over, without being fixed, that problems will occur. For example, let’s say a piece of pipework used for plumbing or some electrical component gets damaged and is then covered over with drywall. At first, there may not be any noticeable issues resulting from the mistake. However, with time, the problem may turn into something much bigger. This is why you will want to involve your home inspector. If you include your home inspector during various phases of construction, they will look for any mistakes that will affect your home in the future. Any issue can then be remedied before it creates a problem.
An added benefit of including your home inspector during your home’s construction is that they will get to know all the ins and outs of the building, making future inspections quick and easy.
