New Construction Inspections before insulation and drywall are very important. County inspections do not include workmanship issues and are typically done in less than 10 minutes. I spend 2 to 3 hours on a pre-drywall inspection. Call for information and pricing for your home.
Professional builders can save on warranty callbacks by utilizing my services. I recommmend a minimum of two inspections per home, pre-drywall and final. I have saved builders thousands of dollars by finding problems early in the construction process.
Note: Many builders require completion of a pre-drywall inspection up to one week before the insulation is scheduled to go in. Please schedule yours early and co-ordinate with the builder to ensure the window of opportunity does not pass.
Some of the areas I can assist in are:
Site monitoring visits.
Workmanship evaluations
Pre-drywall Inspections
Final detailed inspections
I am an independent contractor, the client and their project is my only concern.
Note: Construction phase inspections are not regulated by NC or SC and E&O, GL insurance does not cover these inspections. Full responsibility of construction and final product is retained by the builder and the builders insurance.
Predrywall Inspection Fees vary by size (please include basement sf).
Add $25 for thorough crawlspace foundation inspection.
The final is also important and those fees are also very fair for the detail and quality of the inspection.
Slab foundation <1600sf $220
Slab foundation 1601 - 2200sf $250
Slab foundation 2201 - 3000sf $275
Slab foundation 3001 - 3500sf $300
Slab foundation 3501 - 4000sf $325
Slab foundation 4001 - 4500sf $350
Add $25 for each addtl. 500 square feet.
Add $25 if underfloor crawlspace type foundation is present.
