What Are Phase Inspections For New Construction Homes?

Phase Inspections are systematic inspections conducted at various stages of a new construction project. These inspections are crucial for identifying and addressing potential issues before they are hidden from view, ensuring each phase of construction meets the highest quality and safety standards. Check out this Forbes article for more tips on Buying a New Construction Home. 

Our New Construction Inspection Phases

Phase I inspections begin by evaluating the blue prints for the home, then assessing the grading and excavation of the property, anchors and footing spacing and sizing, and slab pre-pour layout. Some of the specific components inspected include:

  • Drain, Waste, and Vent lines
  • Water supply lines
  • Plumbing and pipes for water and gas distribution
  • Trenches and soil excavation
  • Elevation, grading, and drainage
    Rebar, and concrete form layout

Phase II inspections are the most in-depth, and most important, phase inspection focused on framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, cladding, windows and doors, and roof. Some of the specific areas inspected include:

  • Beams, bearings, and other framing members
  • Trusses installation, bearing, and attachment
  • Nails, screws, anchors, connection plates, clips, straps, ties, etc.
  • Stairwells and stair structure and attachment
  • Fireblocking and draft prevention
  • Electrical conductors, panels, and outlets rough-in
  • Plumbing distribution and waste lines rough-in
  • HVAC ductwork and air distribution and return system rough-in
  • Building envelope penetrations (doors and windows) water and air intrusion resistance
  • Roof system framing, sheathing, underlayment, and flashing

Phase III inspections are your standard pre-purchase home or property inspection. These inspections review the 200 + components and systems inspected on all pre-purchase inspections. Utilities should be connected and turned on during phase III inspections. Phase III inspections are your last opportunity to have the home or building assessed prior to taking ownership.

Builder’s warranty period inspections, like phase III inspections are a full home or property inspection. The difference is these inspections are generally performed in the last month or two of the builder’s warranty period to identify any systems or components that have pre-maturely aged, or have become defective due to workmanship or manufacturer defects. Builder’s warranty inspections are your last opportunity to have the builder make any repairs required before taking on full financial responsibility for the home and all systems in it.

The Most Important Phase:
Pre-Drywall Inspection

The Pre-Drywall Inspection is a critical juncture in the construction process. This phase offers a unique opportunity to evaluate the building’s internal systems and structure before they are concealed by drywall. During this inspection, our skilled professionals at Tier-1 Pro Inspections meticulously examine the framing, electrical wiring, plumbing, and HVAC systems.

Identifying and addressing these issues during the Pre-Drywall Inspection can prevent significant future complications, ensuring the longevity and safety of your new construction. This inspection is an investment in the quality and assurance of your property.
