New Construction Advantage™

Build Right, From the Ground Up

New construction inspections are not about finding cosmetic issues. They are about verifying workmanship, installation practices, and system readiness before problems are sealed behind drywall or become the buyer’s responsibility. The New Construction Advantage™ provides structured oversight at each critical phase so buyers can move forward with confidence, not assumptions.

Every phase is checked with disciplined attention to detail, because a new build deserves the same level of preparedness and follow-through you expect when protecting a long-term investment.

Phase Inspection Roadmap

Pre-scheduled phase inspections at foundation, pre-drywall, and final help ensure construction standards are met before each stage is covered or closed. This phased approach allows issues to be addressed early, when corrections are simpler and less costly. Buyers who schedule all phases up front receive discounted pricing and a clear inspection timeline aligned with the build schedule.

Enhanced Builder Punch List

Inspection findings are organized into a streamlined, builder-friendly punch list grouped by Safety / Repair and Finish / Approve / Monitor. This format makes it easier for builders to understand priorities, respond efficiently, and complete corrections without confusion or unnecessary back-and-forth.

Every inspector issues a report, but few format findings in a way builders expect. Grouping items in a familiar, action-oriented structure shortens response time and helps keep construction moving toward completion.

Thermal / Moisture Baseline (Add-On)

An infrared scan performed at the final phase helps identify moisture intrusion and thermal irregularities that are not visible to the naked eye. Baseline thermal imaging of the electrical panel and select areas provides buyers with a documented reference point for energy efficiency and system performance from day one.

Many inspectors skip thermal imaging on new construction because the home is “brand new.” Establishing a baseline before move-in creates an objective record that can help protect buyers if issues emerge later.

Baseline Moisture Check

A baseline moisture check helps identify elevated moisture conditions before move-in, offering early awareness of potential concerns related to drainage, flashing, or building envelope performance.

11-Month Warranty Reminder

Automatic follow-up reminders help buyers schedule a pre-warranty inspection before builder coverage expires. Many homeowners intend to schedule an 11-month inspection but forget as the year goes on.

By issuing reminders near month ten, Semper Fi Home Inspections buyers act before warranty liability ends, giving them the opportunity to document issues and request repairs while coverage is still in place.
