New Construction Inspection
From $400
A new construction inspection from Bent Nails starts at $400. Almost every newly built house has problems from day one; the inspection identifies them so the builder can correct them before you take possession, and new-build inspections are also checked for building-code compliance.
Many buyers assume a brand-new home will be perfect. The reality is that almost every house has problems from day one. A new construction inspection gets them identified and corrected before you move in.
After possession, Ontario’s Tarion warranty gives you set windows to report defects. A Tarion warranty inspection before each one keeps the builder responsible for what shows up later.
Questions about this inspection
Why inspect a brand-new house?
Because almost every new house has deficiencies on day one, and they are easiest to get fixed before you take possession.
Is it a building-code inspection?
A standard home inspection is not a code inspection. New-build inspections are the exception: they are looked over for code compliance.
What happens after I move in?
Book Tarion warranty inspections before the 30-day, year-end and second-year deadlines so defects are on record while the builder is still responsible.
