Why New Home & Warranty Inspections Matter in Calgary

New homes go through multiple construction stages, tight timelines, and varying trade quality. New homes go through multiple construction stages involving different trades and tight timelines. Even newly constructed properties may have visible workmanship concerns or installation issues that warrant attention. An independent inspection helps identify observable concerns but does not certify building-code compliance.

We look closely at workmanship, installations, safety and maintenance needs, turning findings into an organized report you can use in conversations with your builder.

In Calgary’s climate, small issues can escalate quickly due to freeze-thaw cycles, expansive soils, chinooks, and temperature swings.

Types of New Home Inspections We Offer

Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI / Pre-Possession)

Conducted before possession or key handover, this inspection focuses on visible workmanship concerns, accessible building systems, and deficiencies that may need builder attention. Findings are documented to support your pre-possession walkthrough and follow-up discussions.

New Home Possession Inspection

Completed shortly after move-in, focusing on interior finishes, mechanical and electrical performance, safety concerns, and builder follow-up documentation.

11-Month (New Home Warranty) Inspection

An inspection scheduled around the eleventh month of ownership can help identify visible concerns and organize findings before applicable warranty deadlines. Because warranty coverage and submission requirements vary, homeowners should confirm their deadlines with their warranty provider and arrange the inspection early enough to allow for builder follow-up.
