Short Answer
The inspection process for new construction typically involves multiple stages. A pre-drywall inspection checks the framing, plumbing, and electrical systems before the walls are closed up. A final inspection before closing evaluates everything from the roof to the foundation. A one-year warranty inspection catches issues that may have developed after you moved in. Hire your own independent inspector for each stage, even though the builder performs their own quality checks. Full answer page coming soon.

Full answer page coming soon. Do not skip the pre-drywall inspection. Once the drywall is up, you cannot see the framing, insulation, or wiring. I always recommend my new construction buyers hire an independent inspector for both the pre-drywall and final inspections.
