Chattanooga, TN · New-build handover
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.
For a Chattanooga inspection, give the team the property details and the dates that matter. At Chattanooga new-build handover, readiness includes safe access and operable finished systems. Visible grading, roof drainage and below-floor conditions should be considered with completion items rather than postponed automatically until after moving in.
Ask whether electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling systems will be ready for safe operation.
Review accessible roof, exterior, grading and water-management observations with the builder.
Separate unfinished work from observed defects and keep a record of responses and repair documents.
The Chattanooga market page identifies sloped-lot drainage, older systems, crawlspace moisture, and roof and exterior exposure as practical issues to discuss for the actual property.
At a Chattanooga home with a crawlspace, arrange safe access and point out any prior moisture treatment, plumbing leak or below-floor repair.

No. The completed-home stage addresses finished components. Concealed framing and rough-ins may no longer be visible.
The report can document limitations. Ask what a later visit could evaluate.
A warranty has its own terms. An inspection documents observable condition and helps identify questions before handover.
Share the property address, inspection purpose and decision date. My City Home Inspector can confirm coverage, the selected service and appointment options.
