Phase Inspection
Inspection Overview
A phase inspection of a residential home involves evaluating the construction process at critical stages to ensure safety and structural integrity. Typically, it includes three key phases:
Pre-pour phase: assesses site preparation, reinforcement, and forms before the concrete foundation is poured, ensuring structural integrity.
Pre-drywall phase: occurs after framing but before drywall installation, allowing inspectors to check structural framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and insulation systems for potential issues.
Final inspection: is conducted once the home is fully constructed, evaluating all major systems, fixtures, and overall compliance with codes and standards.
By addressing potential issues at each step, phase inspections reduce the risk of future repairs, improve the home’s safety, and ensure construction quality from the ground up.
