What is a Building Standards Inspection?
A building standards inspection is a comprehensive inspection performed before closing on your new construction home. This inspection verifies that your home meets all building codes, construction standards, and quality requirements before you take possession.
Unlike a standard home inspection for resale homes, a building standards inspection for new construction focuses on code compliance, construction quality, and ensuring everything is built according to plans and specifications.
Why Building Standards Inspection Matters
Catch Issues Before Closing
Issues found before closing can be documented and addressed by the builder before you take possession. This protects your investment and ensures quality construction.
Ensure Code Compliance
The inspection verifies that your home meets all local building codes and construction standards. Code violations can be costly to fix after closing.
Document Everything
All findings are documented with photos and detailed reports. This documentation protects you if issues arise during the warranty period.
Peace of Mind
Knowing an expert has thoroughly inspected your home before closing gives you confidence that everything is built correctly and meets quality standards.
