"When building a home, you'll still want to get your new home inspected -not just before move-in, but at many different stages in the construction process. That's where phase inspections come in. What are phase inspections? A phase inspection is specifically for new construction homes, when an inspector goes through the house at specific stages during the building process. Also known as a 3-phase inspection, this inspection process is used when building a home to catch problems early and while they can still be addressed."
"Each inspection phase ensures that what is being built meets building codes, follows approved plans, and avoids mistakes that could get hidden as construction moves forward. Even brand-new homes can have issues with the framing, electrical, plumbing, or drainage that are harder to catch once drywall and flooring go in. What are the phases in a new construction phase inspection? Phase inspections are broken down into 3-4 phases, depending on if you're buying a custom-built or production build home."
Building a home adds layers of moving parts beyond buying, creating a need for confidence that construction is correct. New construction homes require inspections at multiple stages, known as phase or 3-phase inspections, to catch problems early while they remain addressable. Each phase verifies compliance with building codes, adherence to approved plans, and prevention of mistakes that could become concealed later. Inspections detect framing, electrical, plumbing, drainage, and other system issues before drywall and flooring hide them. Phase inspections typically include pre-pour/pre-foundation review of site prep, footings, rebar, drainage, and stub-outs. A framing/pre-drywall inspection reviews structural connections, rough-ins, ductwork, roof structure, fire blocking, and flashing.
