Building a new home is one of the largest investments you'll ever make. Before insulation and drywall cover everything, let our Certified Inspectors perform a comprehensive New Construction Progress Inspection to ensure your home's structural, mechanical, and building envelope components have been installed using sound construction practices.

This inspection is completed after framing, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, roofing, windows, and exterior systems are installed—but before insulation and drywall are installed. This is the ideal time to identify concerns, verify workmanship, and recommend improvements while corrections are still practical and cost-effective.

• Foundation review 
• Floor framing 
• Engineered beams (LVLs) 
• Roof trusses 
• Load-bearing walls 
• Posts and beam support 
• Joist hangers 
• Bridging and blocking 
• Stair framing 
• Structural penetrations 

• House wrap installation 
• Window flashing 
• Door flashing 
• Moisture management 
• Drainage details 
• Window well drainage 
• Roof overhangs 
• Exterior weatherproofing 
• Roof ventilation 

• ABS drainage 
• PEX water supply 
• Rough-in installation 
• Plumbing penetrations 
• Future freeze protection recommendations 

• Duct layout 
• Heat runs 
• Ventilation 
• Mechanical penetrations 
• Attic ventilation 
• Airflow recommendations 

• Electrical rough-in 
• Panel capacity 
• Outlet placement 
• Exterior electrical 
• GFCI protection 
• Wiring practices 
• Electrical box installation 

• Exterior wall preparation 
• Insulation recommendations 
• Vapour barrier recommendations 
• Air sealing recommendations 
• Thermal bridge reduction 
• Attic insulation preparation 

We evaluate workmanship throughout the home and identify opportunities to improve:

• Structural integrity 
• Moisture management 
• Long-term durability 
• Energy efficiency 
• Sound reduction 
• Future maintenance 
• Overall construction quality 

✔ Comprehensive written inspection report

✔ Professional photographs

✔ Detailed inspector observations

✔ Practical recommendations

✔ Builder-quality review of workmanship

✔ Homeowner consultation

✔ Opportunity to ask questions during the inspection

One of the things that makes our inspection different is that we don't simply point out deficiencies.

We also recommend practical improvements that can make your home quieter, warmer, stronger, and more energy efficient before the walls are closed, including:

• Sound barrier insulation between bedrooms 
• Bathroom sound insulation 
• Floor cavity sound insulation 
• Window and door air sealing 
• Proper vapour barrier installation 
• Exterior corner insulation techniques 
• Future maintenance considerations 

Many of these improvements cost very little during construction but become extremely expensive after drywall is installed.

Once insulation and drywall are installed, approximately 90% of your home's construction becomes hidden from view.

Our inspection allows you to see and understand how your home has been built before those systems are permanently covered.

It provides peace of mind that your investment has been constructed using sound building practices and gives you the opportunity to address concerns before they become costly or inaccessible.

This inspection should be scheduled after all framing and mechanical rough-ins are complete, but before:

• Insulation 
• Vapour barrier 
• Drywall 
• Interior finishes 
• 
  

Our goal is not simply to find problems.

Our goal is to help ensure your new home is built to a high standard by identifying concerns early, recognizing quality workmanship where it exists, and providing practical recommendations that improve the home's long-term performance, comfort, durability, and energy efficiency.
