New Construction Inspections

Professional Atlanta, GA new construction inspectors

Quality home builders in North Atlanta know the importance of a new construction inspection. The last thing any builder wants to do is waste money ripping out finished work to fix code violations and defective workmanship. You’re in this business to make the highest profit possible.

We’re going to tell you right up front: Our home inspection services are not the cheapest in Atlanta. That said, our certified master inspectors will thoroughly inspect everything from HVAC to joist hangers in the homes you build. They will identify problems before your workers close the walls up—and before the city inspector arrives.

Pre-Drywall Inspections in Atlanta

The goal of a pre-drywall inspection is to ensure that the house has been framed in accordance with applicable building codes.  At Ease Inspections wants to ensure that the initial components of the electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems have been properly installed.  Our certified pre-drywall inspectors also check to make sure that critical components have been installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Once the drywall has been installed, many of these important components are no longer visible and cannot be inspected. If problems are found later, it’s harder to identify the source of the problem. Which means tearing out walls until you find it. A costly endeavor that any homebuilder in Atlanta wants to avoid. Especially during the warranty period when the homeowner is settled into their new home.

Every pre-drywall inspection is conducted in accordance with the rigorous standards of the Georgia Association of Home Inspectors Protocol for Framing Inspections.

Final Inspections

Many homebuyers understand the importance of an inspection for a resale property. Unfortunately, some homebuyers assume that a newly built home will be problem-free. Our experience shows that this cannot be further from the truth.

Building a home is complex. There are a lot of moving parts. You’ve got workers coming in and out over a period of months. Even the best building construction managers can miss something. The fact is, it’s nearly impossible to catch every issue before the city inspector does.

Atlanta is experiencing a housing boom. Unfortunately, schedule pressures can result in the decline of overall construction quality. Being too busy is a wonderful problem to have in this business. Just remember that to keep your clients (and the city inspectors) happy, it is wise to include a visit from an independent new construction inspector into the project plan.

At Ease inspections, we have never inspected a newly completed home without identifying multiple code violations and defects.  Our clients, their real estate agents, and the homebuilders are shocked at what we uncover during inspections of new built homes. You can imagine how relieved the homebuilder is to have the opportunity to make things right the first time, long before a single piece of their client’s furniture enters their new home.
