New Construction Inspection

Pre-drywall, final, and 11-month warranty inspections.

Quick Answer

New construction inspection has three critical phases: pre-drywall (after rough-in but before drywall), final (before closing), and 11-month warranty (before builder warranty expires). We perform all three.

What's different about a new construction inspection

  • Pre-drywall: structural, framing, plumbing rough-in, electrical rough-in, HVAC rough-in
  • Final: same scope as standard residential inspection
  • 11-month warranty: comprehensive walk-through of all builder-warranted items
  • Builder-issue documentation formatted for warranty claims

Southern Minnesota considerations

New construction in southern MN is concentrated in Mankato, Worthington, Albert Lea, lakeside communities, and select Fairmont subdivisions. Builder quality varies — third-party inspection is essential.

Common questions

Do I really need to inspect new construction?

Yes. Even reputable builders have quality-control issues. Third-party inspection identifies issues the builder should fix on their dime — not yours after closing.

When should I do the 11-month warranty inspection?

At month 10-11. Document everything before warranty expires at month 12.
