New Construction Inspection in Delray Beach, FL
Buying a new home in Delray Beach? Active new construction west of I-95 in Boca Pointe, Coco Wood Lakes, Rainberry Bay, and newer gated communities means many buyers are closing on recently built homes. An independent new construction inspection gives you a licensed review of the home's visible condition before you close — from an inspector who works for you, not the builder.
What a new construction inspection reviews
A new construction inspection evaluates visible and accessible systems and components of a newly built home. The report is independent of the builder and can be used before closing or the final walkthrough.
Roof and Exterior
Roof covering, flashing, drainage, siding, windows, and exterior doors — evaluated independently from the builder. New construction in western Delray Beach often uses concrete tile with hip roofs, which should be properly installed and watertight before closing. The inspection documents visible conditions before you close.
Electrical
Panel, wiring, outlets, and safety devices. Electrical installations in new construction should conform to code — the inspector documents visible conditions on the day of inspection.
Plumbing
Supply lines, drain lines, fixtures, and water heater. New plumbing should be properly installed and leak-free; the inspection documents what is visible and accessible before you close.
HVAC
Heating and cooling equipment condition and operation. Florida HVAC systems are critical given the climate — the inspection documents the system's visible condition before you take possession.
Structure, Attic, and Interior
Foundation, framing, attic access, insulation, and interior finishes. Active development west of I-95 in Delray Beach means many homes are completed under production-build timelines — incomplete installations or visible defects can be addressed before closing while you still have leverage.
Safety and Visible Conditions
Doors, windows, fixtures, finishes, drainage, and other points that may require attention before closing. Your inspector documents what is visible and accessible on the day of inspection.
