Should I still get an inspection on a brand-new house?

A brand-new house still benefits from an independent inspection, since builder-grade construction can include workmanship errors, missed code items or incomplete work that a municipal inspection does not always catch. A pre-drywall inspection during construction and a final inspection before closing give a buyer two separate checkpoints to catch issues while they are still easy to fix under warranty. Skipping this step because a home is new is one of the more common and avoidable mistakes a buyer makes. Brian Beatty can point a buyer to inspectors experienced with new construction specifically.
