New Construction Inspection
Pre-drywall and pre-closing inspections that catch builder defects while they are easy to fix.
Onslow County has seen a wave of new subdivisions from Richlands to Holly Ridge. Building inspections by the county confirm minimum code compliance at specific stages; they are not a detailed look at workmanship on your specific home.
An independent inspector working for you, not the builder, can catch missing insulation, damaged framing, improper flashing, and incomplete finishes before you close, when the builder is still motivated to correct them.

New Construction Inspection FAQs
Why inspect a brand-new home?
Production schedules are fast and many trades touch your home. Common new-build findings include missing attic insulation, disconnected ducts, improperly sloped grading and incomplete flashing.
Will my builder allow an independent inspection?
Most do. Check your purchase contract and let the builder know your inspection date ahead of time so we can access the home.
Ready to schedule your inspection?
Most inspections can be booked within 1–3 days. Reports are delivered within 24 hours.
