New Build

Whether buying a previously owned home or a new build, a home inspection is always a good idea. Many buyers may feel like a third-party home inspection for brand new construction is redundant. After all, everything is new, right? The home has to pass building inspections, right? Yes… that’s true, but building inspectors will only ensure that the home is built to code, and code is a basic standard for construction. A certified and experienced home inspector can give you a more comprehensive picture of the home you have contracted. For example, a building inspector will ensure that the attic is insulated according to code.

A home inspector can make sure the builder is complying with your contract to install upgraded insulation and soundproofing in the attic. When you choose a third-party home inspection provider like Mellon, you have the opportunity to ensure the home is being delivered with all agreed upon materials and upgrades, and that all work has been completed to code and beyond.
