A large portion of the inspections that I perform are New Home Warranty. Unfortunately, attention to detail and craftsmanship are not words we use to describe the home building industry today. Builder's cutting corners and a vast un-skilled labor pool are just a couple of the contributing factors. Having an independent authority document construction defects to include "Cosmetic" is a time and money saving tool that many wise homeowners are utilizing in today's market. Documenting defects that the builder claims are "Standard of the Industry" A compiled overview of items by both the inspector and home owner which is easily and professionally submitted to the builder to garner the appropriate attention.
