Specific questions
Questions about this inspection stage
Must I wait until exactly month 11?
No. Schedule with enough time to review findings and meet the actual builder notice deadline.
Is this the same as the final new-build inspection?
No. The final visit reviews the home near completion; a warranty-stage visit examines conditions after use and weather exposure.
Will the builder repair everything in the report?
The report documents observed conditions. Coverage and remedies depend on the written warranty and other applicable terms.
Should I include specialty testing?
Ask about separate radon, sewer, mold, or other services if a property-specific concern warrants them. Their scope and availability must be confirmed.
What documents should I keep?
Keep the report, warranty, builder notices, photographs, and any specialist findings together for follow-up.
