What Is a New Construction Home Inspection?
A new construction home inspection is a professional evaluation of a newly built home that identifies visible defects, incomplete work, safety concerns, and systems or components that may need attention. It gives the buyer detailed documentation to review with the builder before moving forward.

New Construction Home Inspection FAQs
Answers to common questions from buyers preparing to inspect a newly built home.
Does a brand-new home really need an inspection?
Yes. Newly constructed homes can still have incomplete work, installation concerns, damaged components, or systems that need adjustment. An inspection provides professional documentation that helps you understand the home’s visible condition before moving forward.
When should I schedule a new construction home inspection?
Schedule the inspection after the home’s major systems and components have been installed and the builder can provide access. Ideally, leave enough time to receive the report and discuss the findings with the builder before closing or your final walkthrough. Confirm all timing requirements with your builder and real estate professional.
What is included in a new construction inspection?
Apollo evaluates the home’s visible and accessible structure, roof, exterior, electrical system, plumbing, heating and cooling equipment, attic and insulation where accessible, interior components, installed appliances, and other items included within the inspection’s scope.
Does the inspection replace the builder’s or municipality’s inspections?
No. Apollo’s inspection is an independent visual evaluation for the buyer. It does not replace municipal inspections, certify code compliance, or serve as a substitute for the builder’s quality-control process.
What should I do with the inspection report?
Review the report carefully and contact Apollo if you need clarification about a finding. You can then provide the applicable documentation to your builder and discuss any concerns or incomplete items. Repair obligations and deadlines depend on your builder agreement and purchase documents.
How do I request a new construction home inspection?
Complete the online inspection request form with the property address, builder information, available inspection window, and relevant timing. Apollo will review your request, confirm scheduling details, and follow up if additional information is needed.
