New Construction Inspection Phases in Miami-Dade

New construction inspections can be performed at multiple stages — before the builder covers framing and mechanical systems (phase inspections) and at the final walk-through before closing. Each phase catches different categories of defects while there's still time to correct them at no cost to you.

Pre-Drywall Phase Inspection

Before insulation and drywall go up, we evaluate framing, HVHZ hurricane strap installation, electrical rough-in, plumbing rough-in, and HVAC ductwork placement — items that will be concealed for the life of the home.

Foundation & Slab

South Florida's expansive soils and water table conditions make early slab inspection important. We look at reinforcement placement, slab thickness indicators, and moisture barriers before the concrete pour where possible.

HVHZ Hurricane Straps & Roof Connections

Miami-Dade's HVHZ requirements mandate specific hurricane strap configurations. We verify installation during framing — before the roof covering is applied and access becomes difficult.

Final Walk-Through Inspection

Before closing, we perform a comprehensive inspection of the completed home — checking all systems, finish quality, appliances, drainage, and any outstanding punch-list items from your builder.

Impact Window & Door Verification

HVHZ requires all openings to be impact-rated or have approved shutter protection. We verify that installed windows and doors carry the required Miami-Dade product approval and that installation meets specifications.

New Doesn't Always Mean Defect-Free in Miami-Dade

Doral, Kendall, and Homestead are among Miami-Dade's fastest-growing new construction markets. Build schedules are tight, subcontractor turnover is high, and the builder's inspector works for the builder — not for you. An independent inspection is your only objective review before you take ownership.

  • Builder inspectors represent the builder's interests — an independent inspector represents yours
  • Pre-drywall phase inspections catch concealed defects before they're sealed inside walls
  • HVHZ compliance verification protects you from future insurance or resale complications
  • Issues found before closing are the builder's responsibility to correct at no charge
  • Bilingual service supports Miami-Dade's diverse new-construction buyer community

New Construction Inspection FAQ — Miami-Dade County

Can I get a phase inspection on a new build in Doral or Kendall?
Yes. We perform phase inspections throughout Miami-Dade County's active new construction communities, including Doral, Kendall, Homestead, and Hialeah. Contact us as early as possible in the build process so we can schedule around your builder's construction timeline.
Will the builder allow an independent inspector on the job site?
Florida law gives buyers the right to have an independent inspection performed on their new home. Most builders in Miami-Dade comply readily. We recommend informing your builder's sales representative at the time you schedule with us.
What does HVHZ compliance mean for my new Miami-Dade home?
HVHZ (High Velocity Hurricane Zone) requires stricter construction standards for roofing systems, opening protection, and structural connections than the rest of Florida. Your new home must use Miami-Dade product-approved windows, doors, and roofing materials. We verify these installations as part of our new construction inspection.
Is a new construction inspection worth it if the city already did municipal inspections?
Municipal inspectors verify code compliance from the city's perspective — they are not advocates for the buyer. They also may not catch every installation defect. An independent inspection provides a second, detailed review specifically focused on protecting your investment before you take possession.
