Because everything seems so pristine, you may wonder, should I get a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plymouthrock.com\/resources\/how-to-prepare-for-a-home-inspection\">home inspection<\/a> on a new build? The answer is yes. Just because a house is newly constructed does not mean it\u2019s free of defects.

You can do this through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plymouthrock.com\/insurance\/home\">home insurance<\/a> and home inspections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even on newly built homes, there can be oversights, mistakes or shortcuts during the construction process. Failure to identify these issues right away can lead to costly problems in the future. That\u2019s where an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plymouthrock.com\/resources\/what-do-insurance-home-inspectors-look-for\">independent home inspector<\/a> can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Home inspectors can help uncover any structural or underlying construction issues in your new home before you close on the sale. If you don\u2019t catch these things ahead of time, you may be left with the bill or be stuck waiting for warranty repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if your property is mostly issue free, a new build home inspection will give you peace of mind knowing that your home\u2019s construction is safe and sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a id=\"what\"><\/a><h2 style=\"margin-bottom:0px; margin-top:20px;\">What does a home inspection cover in a new build? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ideally, your new home should be inspected multiple times throughout the construction process. These new build inspections will help verify that the structure and systems of your home are built and installed correctly. Typically, there are three different types of new build inspections:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"border:1px solid #0078D6; margin-bottom:15px; margin-top:15px;\"><table style=\"margin-bottom:0px; font-size:1.125rem;\"><tr><td style=\"background-color:#0078D6; border-color:#ffffff; color:#fff; padding:10px 10px 10px 15px; text-align: left; width:50%;\"><strong>Inspection Type<\/strong><\/td><td style=\"background-color:#0078D6; border-color:#ffffff; color:#fff; padding:10px 10px 10px 10px; text-align: left; width:50%;\"><strong>What\u2019s Inspected (Partial List)<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>\n\n<tr><td style=\"background-color:#e5f2fb; border-color:#ffffff; padding:10px 15px 10px 15px; text-align: left; vertical-align:top;\">Pre-drywall<\/td><td style=\"background-color:#e5f2fb; border-color:#ffffff; padding:10px 15px 10px 15px; text-align: left; vertical-align:top;\">Framing, electrical wiring, insulation, ducts<\/td><\/tr>\n\n<tr><td style=\"background-color:#fff; border-color:#ffffff; padding:10px 15px 10px 15px; text-align: left;\">Post-construction<\/td><td style=\"background-color:#fff; border-color:#ffffff; padding:10px 15px 10px 15px; text-align: left;\">Walls, cabinets, floor, roof<\/td><\/tr>\n\n<tr><td style=\"background-color:#e5f2fb; border-color:#ffffff; padding:10px 15px 10px 15px; text-align: left;\">Builder&#8217;s warranty<\/td><td style=\"background-color:#e5f2fb; border-color:#ffffff; padding:10px 15px 10px 15px; text-align: left;\">Plumbing, HVAC, heating system, electrical system, appliances<\/td><\/tr>\n\n\n<\/table><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 style=\"margin-bottom:0px; margin-top:20px; font-size:18px;\"><strong>Pre-Drywall Inspection<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of inspection happens before the drywall is installed. In a pre-drywall inspection, an inspector examines things like the property\u2019s wooden frame, electrical wiring, insulation and ducts before they are concealed by the drywall. If anything needs to be repaired, ask the builder to address it before they proceed with construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 style=\"margin-bottom:0px; margin-top:20px; font-size:18px;\"><strong>Post-Construction Inspection<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You should always get a post-construction inspection before your final walkthrough. This can help catch any last-minute issues and ensure you\u2019re satisfied with the construction. A post-construction inspection will typically examine things like the walls, cabinets, floors and, most importantly, the roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 style=\"margin-bottom:0px; margin-top:20px; font-size:18px;\"><strong>Builder\u2019s Warranty Inspection<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>New homes typically come with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plymouthrock.com\/resources\/home-warranty-vs-home-insurance\">builder warranties<\/a> that begin as soon as you close. Typically, this warranty covers materials and workmanship for permanent parts of your home like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plymouthrock.com\/resources\/does-home-insurance-cover-plumbing\">plumbing<\/a>, concrete, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plymouthrock.com\/resources\/home-electrical-safety\">electrical work<\/a> and HVAC, among other things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a good idea to get a builder\u2019s warranty inspection before your warranty period ends. This is the best way to make sure that these key structural areas of your home are still in excellent condition. Any damage that is the result of faulty construction should be repaired by the builder during the warranty period. If problems occur after the warranty period ends, you will have to pay the construction repair costs out of your own pocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"width:100%; text-align:right; padding:5px 0px 5px 0px;\"><a href=\"#back-to-top\">Back to top >><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<a id=\"main\"><\/a><h2 style=\"margin-bottom:0px; margin-top:10px;\">Main areas covered in a new build home inspection <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So much goes into constructing a home that it\u2019s nearly impossible for it to be completely perfect. That\u2019s why you want your home inspector to be as comprehensive as possible. During a new build home inspection, an inspector will look at things like the foundation, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plymouthrock.com\/resources\/does-home-insurance-cover-roof-leaks\">roof<\/a>, insulation, plumbing, HVAC and other essential areas of your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"home-resources-orange-border2\"><strong>Key Areas of Inspection<\/strong> <ul style=\"list-style-type: '\\2713'; padding-left:10px;\"><li style=\"color:#F37021;\"><span style=\"color:#000; margin-left:10px; display:block;\">Foundation<\/span><\/li><li style=\"color:#F37021;\"><span style=\"color:#000; margin-left:10px; display:block;\">Framing<\/span><\/li><li style=\"color:#F37021;\"><span style=\"color:#000; margin-left:10px; display:block;\">Electrical wiring<\/span><\/li><li style=\"color:#F37021;\"><span style=\"color:#000; margin-left:10px; display:block;\">Plumbing<\/span><\/li><li style=\"color:#F37021;\"><span style=\"color:#000; margin-left:10px; display:block;\">HVAC system<\/span><\/li><li style=\"color:#F37021;\"><span style=\"color:#000; margin-left:10px; display:block;\">Ducting<\/span><\/li><li style=\"color:#F37021;\"><span style=\"color:#000; margin-left:10px; display:block;\">Roofing<\/span><\/li><li style=\"color:#F37021;\"><span style=\"color:#000; margin-left:10px; display:block;\">Siding<\/span><\/li><li style=\"color:#F37021;\"><span style=\"color:#000; margin-left:10px; display:block;\">Gutters<\/span><\/li><li style=\"color:#F37021;\"><span style=\"color:#000; margin-left:10px; display:block;\">Drywall<\/span><\/li><li style=\"color:#F37021;\"><span style=\"color:#000; margin-left:10px; display:block;\">Cabinets<\/span><\/li><li style=\"color:#F37021;\"><span style=\"color:#000; margin-left:10px; display:block;\">Appliances<\/span><\/li><li style=\"color:#F37021;\"><span style=\"color:#000; margin-left:10px; display:block;\">Insulation<\/span><\/li><li style=\"color:#F37021;\"><span style=\"color:#000; margin-left:10px; display:block;\">Windows and doors<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"width:100%; text-align:right; padding:5px 0px 5px 0px;\"><a href=\"#back-to-top\">Back to top >><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<a id=\"home\"><\/a><h2 style=\"margin-bottom:0px; margin-top:10px;\">Home inspection tips <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A new build home inspection can uncover important construction defects that may be hidden to the untrained eye.
