New Construction & Phase Inspections
City inspectors verify code minimums; they don't work for you. We inspect at the phases that matter — before the concrete pours, before the drywall closes the walls, and at final walkthrough — so defects get corrected while they're still cheap to fix.
Time on site
1.5 – 3 hours per phase

Will the builder let a third-party inspector in?
Almost always. We coordinate access and keep our findings factual and code-referenced so the superintendent can act on them.
