New construction homes have a lot of perks: they’re new, they’re flashy, and no one has lived in them yet.
A lot of new construction homes are put up quickly, so having a home inspected before you buy it is important. Since the home is under construction, inspections can and should be done at different stages of the construction process.
Our goal in new construction inspections is to make sure that your new home is up to current building standards and will be safe for you and your family to move into.
Getting reliable answers about the safety and living conditions of your new home is simple with All Florida AmeriSpec.
As Florida’s trusted home inspection provider, we’ve performed more than 100,000 inspections over the last 35 years.
Our licensed and certified inspectors know a thing or two, because they have certainly seen a thing or two.
Have you ever seen a brand new house immediately after construction? Over the years, we’ve seen vent registers put up on walls with no vent behind them, HVAC systems put in at the cost of cutting water pipes, and driveways have simply been forgotten. Yes, you read that right, the builders forgot to put in a driveway. Many buyers will think, “What could be wrong with my house? It’s brand new!” But that is exactly the problem: we don’t know how sound this house is yet because no one has lived in it.
A few of the most noteworthy things we look for in new construction inspections are:

Our goal is to give you clear, reliable answers about the condition of your new home.
To do this, we start with a thorough inspection of the exterior of your home, noting any obvious issues and taking pictures of everything. We then move to the inside of the home and carefully inspect all appliances, rooms, plumbing, wiring, flooring, and pretty much every single thing that is in the home. We will cover every inch of the house, from roof to crawlspace.
Our inspection occurs prior to closing, which will give you and your family peace of mind moving into your new home. We will provide you with a detailed inspection report after the inspector has photographed, noted, documented, and analyzed every piece of your home. This report will give you a clear picture of the possible repairs needed. Your builder should take care of the necessary repairs, and they also generally occur before closing.

YES. You and your family will be moving into a home that has never been lived in before and will essentially be the guinea pigs to test out a new HVAC system, plumbing, electrical wiring, and all appliances in the home. New doesn’t mean perfect. Even if your home proves to be in good condition, you will have the confidence to purchase the new home without doubts.
No, a new construction property can’t fail one of our inspections because we report the current condition of the home to indicate what may need repair or replacement. A municipal inspection is the type of inspection that the property could fail.
First will be the foundation inspection that happens pre-construction, second will be the pre-drywall inspection that happens after all framing and mechanical systems are installed, and last we have the final inspection which takes place 3-5 days prior to closing.
