Pre-drywall inspection
Performed after major framing and rough mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work is installed but before insulation and drywall conceal it. Scheduling depends on builder access and construction readiness.
Independent inspections for brand-new homes
New does not mean checked.
A new home passes through many hands before closing. An independent inspection gives you a clear record of visible concerns while the builder can still address them.
On the job
Built before it is covered.
A pre-drywall inspection documents visible framing and rough-in work while it can still be examined.

Why inspect a new home?
Because construction quality is decided in the details.
Brand-new homes can have installation errors, incomplete work, damaged components, and details that were simply missed as different trades moved through the project.
An independent inspection does not replace municipal inspections or the builder’s quality-control process. It gives you another careful set of eyes focused on the visible and accessible condition of the home at a specific stage.
The resulting report helps you raise clear, documented questions with the builder instead of relying on memory or a hurried final walk-through.
Choose the right stage
Three inspections. Three different opportunities.
Final inspection
Performed when construction is substantially complete, before closing. Boyce evaluates visible and accessible systems and documents concerns for your builder conversation.
11-month builder warranty inspection
Performed near the end of the builder’s first-year warranty period so visible defects or performance concerns can be documented before coverage expires.
Commonly documented
Small misses can become big frustrations after closing.
- Roofing, flashing, cladding, and drainage details
- Visible framing or installation concerns
- Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC conditions
- Insulation and building-envelope gaps
- Doors, windows, finishes, and installed components
- Items that appear incomplete, damaged, or not functioning as intended
Timing is part of the inspection: the home needs to be at the appropriate construction stage, with utilities on and areas accessible. Text Boyce before scheduling if the builder has given you a narrow inspection window.
“The builder knows the project. I’m there to give you an independent record of the house you are about to own.”
Clear photographs and plain-language findings make it easier to discuss corrections before closing or before the warranty period ends.
