Many defects and problems found at inspections of older homes were there since the house was constructed, and if it had been inspected when first purchased, these problems could have been corrected earlier.

Currently, trades people who provide the labor at building projects have often not gone through formal apprentice training, are not actual journeymen in their respective trades, and mistakes can be made. Some developers, builders, contractors, and sub contractors may also not be experienced, or they may implement cost cutting, and "value engineering" methods to increase profits, and are not thorough with quality control.

Good respectable developers and builders of new homes appreciate home inspectors because we find defects or deficiencies overlooked during the construction phase by contractors and their employees.

Ultimately with the help of a property inspector, builders are able to improve their product, have fewer "call backs" after the close of the transaction, and actually realize more profit. It is just as important to have a thorough building inspection on new construction as it is on older projects. Page 2 - Services
