TOPIC: New home construction inspection service

Re: New home construction inspection service 14 years 5 months ago #32877

I recommend two new-construction inspections - the pre-drywall and the final walk through.  Of the two the pre-drywall is the most interesting because the house is skeletal.  That way I can determine load transfers, wall positioning, major load supports, how things are finished, and whether plumbing and electrical is properly positioned and protected and whether the HVAC (usually flex ducts) have been wrapped too tightly and crushed.  There is more of course, but I have two recent posts about pre-drywall findings.

Those were both on the same house.  Neither could have been found if they had not chosen a pre-drywall as part of their inspection regimen.  This is the "phase" technique Stephen mentions above.

The final inspection is just like a regular home inspection.  It is fun to see all the things the builder has missed during the 100 or 120 days they have been at the house, and I go there and in a couple of hours come up with a list of things.

Home inspection is very necessary before purchasing a new home as the home inspector tells the current condition of the home and i just got a inspection of my new home.

Well based on the guy's video on attaching a stove to a rear wall I wouldn't trust him for anything else.  No person in their right mind would take apart the upper portion of a stove to attach it to the wall in back of the unit, or attach a bracket on the outside of unit to the rear wall.  Especially when there are brackets specifically designed for installation at the rear foot of the stove that cost less than $5.

There is nothing sweeter than the smell of fresh cut grass on a baseball infield, the click of a wooden bat and the taste of a hot dog at a warm sunny daytime double-header.

This is a spammer. I've notified CREIA ethics board and am leaving this up until they record the issue.
