01
Pre-drywall
After framing and rough-ins, before insulation. Framing, plumbing, wiring and ducts are exposed, as far as they're visible and accessible.
01 / Start here
The town inspects for code. The builder checks its own work. Here's where you come in.
Town and city inspectors check each stage of construction against the building code, and your builder runs its own checks. Neither one is done for you. A private inspection at the right stage is.

11th-month warranty
Around month eleven can be a useful time to document concerns for your builder's review. Your builder's warranty terms determine coverage and deadlines; an inspection does not guarantee repairs or payment.
04
Builder access
Many builders want outside inspectors scheduled through the site superintendent or with notice. Ask early.

Getting findings fixed
Send the report to your builder's rep and ask how and when each item will be handled, in writing.

What the town checks

Why hire an inspector if the town already inspects the house?
Town inspectors check each stage against the building code, and they work for the town, not for you. A private inspection is done for you and gives you a report you keep.
Which stage should I book?
If the walls are open, pre-drywall. If the house is finished and you haven't closed, the final walkthrough. If you're coming up on a year in the house, the 11th-month warranty inspection. Many buyers do more than one.
Will my builder let you on site?
Many builders allow outside inspections but set rules, like scheduling through the site superintendent or giving notice. Check your purchase agreement and ask your builder's rep.
Where do I file a workmanship complaint?
Start with your builder. The Town of Queen Creek, for example, points homeowners to the Arizona Registrar of Contractors and says complaints must be filed within two years of close of escrow or occupancy, whichever comes first.
Should I add a sewer scope on a new build?
It's worth considering. New lines can still have construction debris or installation defects, and the line isn't visible without a camera.
