Knoxville, 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.
Plan the service around the Knoxville property and the question you need answered. For Knoxville new-build handover, check readiness of the utilities and accessible finished systems. Water management around the roof and foundation deserves discussion alongside interior completion rather than after the move.
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.
