Independent review before closing
An independent inspection of a new home before closing, focused on visible workmanship, installation, system, and safety concerns after construction is substantially complete and before builder handoff.
New-home inspection timeline
Pre-Drywall, Pre-Closing, and 1-Year Warranty inspections happen at different moments. Each page links to the next stage so buyers and new owners can choose the right inspection without creating a new obligation.
Review visible framing and rough installations while the builder still has the work open.

Current stage03 · 1-Year WarrantyAfter months of normal use, document visible concerns before the builder-warranty submission window closes.
View 1-Year WarrantyIf a buyer wants a later warranty reminder, the process should be explicit: ask for consent during the earlier new-home inspection, record the preferred contact method and approximate builder-warranty deadline, and send a reminder that links back to 1-Year Warranty Inspection availability. No one should be enrolled automatically and the reminder should not promise a discount, a confirmed booking, or a new builder obligation.
Review warranty inspection availabilityBefore closing
A Pre-Closing Inspection is the whole-home checkpoint near the end of construction. It is different from a Pre-Drywall Inspection because finished systems, surfaces, fixtures, and installed equipment can now be reviewed from readily accessible areas.
Upspect reviews visible and readily accessible systems and components after the builder has completed enough work for a meaningful inspection. The report documents observed concerns without deciding builder warranty coverage or repair obligations.
Photo-rich findings help you prepare for final walkthrough and closing conversations while there is still time to raise visible workmanship, installation, safety, or system concerns through the builder’s process.
The current New Construction Pre-Closing Inspection includes a full-interior thermal imaging scan. Thermal imaging adds information about temperature patterns, but it does not see through walls or guarantee every concealed or intermittent condition will be found.

Questions
Yes. New Construction Pre-Closing inspections include a full-interior thermal imaging scan. The scan provides additional information about temperature patterns but remains subject to inspection limitations.
A Pre-Drywall Inspection happens before walls are closed, when framing and rough installations are visible. A Pre-Closing Inspection happens later, when the finished home, installed systems, fixtures, and readily accessible areas can be reviewed before builder handoff.
Many new-home owners choose a separate 1-Year Warranty Inspection around month 10 or 11, after everyday use has had time to reveal visible concerns before the builder-warranty deadline.
