New construction homes in SWFL often have issues that go unnoticed — missing insulation, roof defects, drainage problems, electrical shortcuts, and more. A professional inspection ensures your builder fixes them before you move in.

Why Inspect a Brand-New Home?

Builders do not inspect their own work — and city code inspections are very basic. Our new-construction inspection is a full private inspection that checks the entire home:

  • Roof & attic issues (missing insulation, unsealed penetrations, lifted shingles)
  • Electrical wiring shortcuts and panel concerns
  • Plumbing leaks, unsealed drains, and improper water heater installations
  • HVAC duct leaks, disconnected returns, and improper installations
  • Missing caulking, structural cracks, and settlement issues
  • Windows and doors not properly aligned or sealed
  • Drainage and grading problems around the home
  • Appliance installation defects and improper ventilation

Phase Construction Inspections (Optional)

We also offer multi-phase new construction inspections:

  • Pre-Pour / Slab Inspection — before concrete is poured
  • Pre-Drywall Inspection — framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC
  • Final Inspection — before closing
  • 11-Month Warranty Inspection — before your builder warranty expires

Builder Warranty Inspection (11-Month)

Most builders offer a one-year workmanship warranty. Our 11-month inspection documents all issues so you can submit repairs before your warranty ends — saving you thousands in future repairs.

Spectora Digital Report Included: A complete, photo-rich report you can send directly to your builder for repairs, including summaries, defect categories, and recommended corrections.

New Construction Inspection FAQs

When should I schedule my new construction inspection?
Ideally 1–5 days before your final walk-through so the builder has time to address issues.
Do builders allow private inspectors?
Yes — Florida builders cannot restrict private inspections. Most expect it and many actually prefer having an inspector catch issues early.
Do new construction homes really have problems?
Absolutely. We routinely find missing insulation, roof defects, unsafe wiring, drainage issues, plumbing leaks, and incomplete workmanship.
