Not all new homes are well built, as they are hand-crafted and mistakes can happen. Simply being new doesn’t ensure quality.
Each house is constructed by different individuals, and their workmanship may vary.
Purchasing a newly built home without an inspection means relying solely on the builders’ expertise, and luck.
By having a new construction inspection, it identifies any construction issues early on, preventing potential major problems in the future. Remember the importance of a new construction inspection to ensure a solid investment in your new home.
Common Issues for New Construction & New Build Houses
While there are countless opportunities for mistakes to occur during construction,
there are a number of issues that pop up more frequently than others.
Here are just a few examples:
Non-functioning electrical outlets and switches
Non-functioning or improperly installed appliances
Improperly installed roofing
Improper grading (ground slopes toward the home)
Poor insulation
Plumbing leaks
Unsealed windows and doors
How Do These Things Happen?
More often than not, problems with a new construction occur through circumstance
or human error, rather than malicious intent. Not all builders are equal,
with varying levels of experience and professionalism.
In addition, problems may occur from rushed work in order to meet a tight deadline.
Protect Your Investment
It is not uncommon to find minor issues with a newly constructed home.
However, occasionally a brand-new home can turn out to be an absolute nightmare,
despite looking perfectly fine on the surface. Some issues, such as leaks or improper grading,
may not become apparent until well after the warranty has expired.
