New Construction Inspection
Over the recent years, we have been witnessing to a decline of
the new construction quality in Toronto, GTA region and Ontario.
The implication is more repairs and maintenance which means higher
wastage rate and higher costs to the homeowners especially in the early
years of the property, after warranty period the of builder ends.
Although usually there is a city inspection during the construction
process, still there are many mistakes and oversights which can be found
in new constructions. These problems can be found even with the best and
most reputable builders.
Although all the big and reputable construction companies make
efforts to improve their quality control during the construction
process, shortfalls and flaws can not be totally eliminated and
unfortunately they can still occur. Obviously, with smaller construction
companies, which have no internal quality control department, more
defects are expected to be found. Insufficient quality control can
accrue in a variety of reasons such as over reliance on the city
inspection, design flaws, specification flaws, use of substandard
materials, shortcuts made in order to reduce costs or save time,
unprofessional workers and other reasons.
The new construction inspection helps you, as a buyer,
ensuring you receive the best for what you have paid for and be aware of
any significant problem during the builder warranty period or during the
construction process. Moreover, when the inspections are made during the
construction process, many of the defects can be repaired on time.
Usually, builders prefer to cooperate and to fix any quality flaw during
the construction process. Once the construction has completed, the
fixing costs are significantly higher and some defects might even be
irreversible and homeowners often have to resort to legal actions. New
construction inspections, during the construction process, allow you to
be involved and in control and to demand the necessary fixing while the
construction is underway and avoids unnecessarily repairs and
maintenance costs in the future, after you have moved in.
You can choose new construction inspection either during the
builder warranty period or during the construction process. If you have
selected to order an inspection during the construction, we suggest
dividing the our service to at least three stages. Of course, the more
stages you divide it, the more accurate and effective results you get
and increase the probability to catch flaws on time while they are still
ongoing.
