New Construction Inspections in Nashville & Middle Tennessee

At SP&D Home Inspections, we specialize in inspecting newly built homes before you close. Even brand-new homes can contain hidden defects that are expensive to fix once drywall, flooring, and landscaping are complete.

If you are building a home in Nashville, Franklin, Brentwood, Murfreesboro, or anywhere in Middle Tennessee, a professional new construction inspection ensures your builder delivers the quality you are paying for.

Why New Homes Still Need Inspections

Building codes set minimum standards — they do not guarantee quality workmanship. Many issues such as improper wiring, plumbing leaks, missing insulation, grading problems, and roof defects are common even in new builds.

A third-party inspection ensures your builder corrects problems before you move in.

Phases of New Construction Inspections

• Pre-Drywall Inspection: Structural framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and insulation
• Final Inspection: Before closing, to verify systems and finishes
• 11-Month Warranty Inspection: Catch defects before the builder warranty expires

What We Look For

• Foundation and structural integrity
• Roofing and exterior drainage
• Electrical system safety
• Plumbing and leak prevention
• HVAC performance
• Insulation and energy efficiency
• Builder workmanship issues

New Construction Inspection FAQ

• Will this slow down my build? No — inspections are coordinated with your builder’s schedule.
• Does the builder allow inspections? Yes — buyers have the right to hire an independent inspector.
• Is a final inspection enough? Pre-drywall inspections catch issues that final inspections can’t see.
• What is an 11-month inspection? It finds defects before your builder’s warranty expires.
