Document visible installation concerns, incomplete work, or items that may require attention from the builder
Receive clear observations and organized photographs to support productive conversations with your builder

Alberta’s New Home Buyer Protection Act requires minimum warranty coverage for eligible new homes. An independent inspection provides a clear, photo-supported record of visible conditions, helping you identify concerns early, organize discussions with your builder, and preserve useful documentation if you need to contact your warranty provider.
The inspection covers systems and components that are installed, visible, and safely accessible on the inspection date. Stored materials, unfinished work, weather conditions, restricted areas, and systems that are not operational may limit what can be inspected. The inspection is non-invasive and does not include destructive testing, engineering analysis, building-code compliance verification, or a determination of warranty coverage. When an observation requires specialized expertise, further evaluation by the builder, warranty provider, or an appropriately qualified professional may be recommended
Straight answers to common questions about timing, builder access, inspection scope, reporting, and new home warranty documentation.
Schedule the inspection when construction is substantially complete and before your final acceptance, possession, or other applicable builder deadline. Electricity, water, heating, fixtures, and installed appliances should be operational so they can be inspected where safely accessible
If you do not yet have legal possession of the home, you should coordinate the inspection with your builder and confirm access in advance. Ask the builder about scheduling requirements, site access, and any applicable safety rules
No. A professional home inspection is an independent visual assessment of the home’s accessible systems and components. It does not replace municipal inspections, occupancy approvals, building-code enforcement, or the builder’s pre-possession walkthrough
No. The inspection documents visible observations but does not determine warranty coverage or claim eligibility. Your warranty provider evaluates claims according to your policy and applicable Alberta requirements. The report may provide useful documentation for discussions with your builder or warranty provider.
Yes. You will receive a clear digital report with photographs, descriptions of visible observations, and practical recommendations for items that may require builder clarification, monitoring, maintenance, or further professional evaluation
Even a newly built home can have incomplete work or overlooked deficiencies. Schedule an independent inspection and receive clear, photo-supported documentation before important builder or warranty deadlines
