Clear information before your next step.
During a new-home PDI, we help you examine the property carefully and create a practical record of items that appear damaged, incomplete, missing, or not operating as expected.
What we examine
- Interior finishes, doors, windows, and flooring
- Visible plumbing and electrical fixtures
- Heating and ventilation operation where accessible
- Exterior items available at the time of inspection
- Installed appliances and features where applicable
- Incomplete, damaged, or missing items
What you receive
- An organized list of visible observations
- Photographic documentation
- Guidance on questions to raise with the builder
- A clearer record for the possession process
Why it matters
More than a checklist.
A new home can still have incomplete, damaged, missing, or non-operational items. A careful PDI review helps create a clearer record of the home’s condition before possession or occupancy.
Common observations
- Finish damage, incomplete trim, flooring, cabinetry, or paint
- Doors, windows, fixtures, appliances, or controls that do not operate as expected
- Visible plumbing, electrical, ventilation, or drainage concerns
- Exterior items that are incomplete or unavailable for review at the time of the PDI
How to prepare
- Confirm the builder’s PDI appointment and access requirements.
- Bring any builder documents or lists of upgrades you want to verify.
- Allow enough time to review observations and ask the builder questions before signing the PDI record.
Useful observations, explained in plain language.
A home inspection is a non-invasive visual assessment of accessible conditions at the time of inspection. It is not destructive testing, an appraisal, a warranty, or a guarantee of future performance. It does not replace engineering, environmental testing, code enforcement, or specialist trade evaluation. When deeper evaluation is appropriate, the report will identify the recommended next step.
Common questions
Before you book.
These answers describe the general service. Property-specific scope, access, timing, and limitations are confirmed when booking.
Is a PDI the same as a resale inspection?+
No. A PDI focuses heavily on completeness, damage, operation, and new-construction concerns at a specific stage of the builder process.
Does this replace Tarion forms?+
No. Your builder and Tarion processes control official warranty submissions. The inspection helps you observe and document items.
