New Build Inspection Before Closing in Atlanta

Arrange a completed-home inspection when the property is ready for the agreed scope and early enough to review findings with the builder before handover. Visible systems, drainage, roofing and interior components can be documented. Confirm utilities, access and the builder’s completion schedule so unfinished work is identified as a limitation.

What should be inspected before a new build closes?

For an Atlanta appointment, start with the stage, access and the decision in front of you. At an Atlanta new build, coordinate the completed-home visit with operational readiness and builder access. Ask about exterior drainage and visible installation concerns in addition to items on the cosmetic punch list.

01

Ready-to-use systems

Ask whether electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling systems will be ready for safe operation.

02

Enclosure and drainage

Review accessible roof, exterior, grading and water-management observations with the builder.

03

Completion and follow-up

Separate unfinished work from observed defects and keep a record of responses and repair documents.

Planning this service in Atlanta

Atlanta’s market page calls attention to warm-weather moisture management, termite and WDO questions, grading and visible foundation conditions, and the differing needs of renovated and newer homes.

If you have termite or wood-damage concerns at an Atlanta house, identify them when booking and confirm the separate WDO service and report needed for the transaction.

The Atlanta market page lists coverage including Alpharetta, Marietta, Lawrenceville, Gainesville and Athens. Provide the full address so the team can confirm the service for your property.

From request to the next step

01

Confirm the completion date

Coordinate with the builder so the selected scope can be performed.

02

Inspect before handover

Leave time to read the report and ask about significant observations.

03

Track the responses

Discuss follow-up and whether accessible repairs should be reinspected.

Questions to discuss before the inspection

Is this the same as pre-drywall?

No. The completed-home stage addresses finished components. Concealed framing and rough-ins may no longer be visible.

What if some work is incomplete?

The report can document limitations. Ask what a later visit could evaluate.

Does the builder’s warranty replace the inspection?

A warranty has its own terms. An inspection documents observable condition and helps identify questions before handover.
