Identify visible defects, incomplete work, and installation concerns at key stages of construction, with clear findings you can discuss with your builder.
New materials and fresh finishes do not always mean every detail has been completed correctly. A newly built home brings together many trades, installations, and systems, and some concerns may go unnoticed until someone takes a closer look.
ParallaxAZ provides pre-drywall and final new construction inspections, helping you identify visible concerns at key stages before taking ownership. We document findings clearly so you can discuss them with your builder while there is time to address them.
Serving Anthem, Desert Hills, New River, Cave Creek, North Phoenix, and surrounding communities.
An independent home inspection adds another perspective alongside the builder’s walkthrough and municipal inspections.
We look for visible installation concerns, damaged components, incomplete work, leaks, and systems that do not operate as expected, according to the construction stage and inspection scope.
You receive a report with photos that explains the findings and identifies items that may need repair or further evaluation. This gives you a practical reference for discussions with your builder.
A pre-drywall inspection provides an opportunity to evaluate visible construction components before drywall conceals them.
ParallaxAZ examines accessible framing and installed rough-in components, documenting visible concerns you can discuss with your builder while these areas remain exposed.
Depending on construction progress and accessibility, the inspection may include:
You receive a report with photos identifying observed concerns and items that may need correction or further evaluation.
Coordinate scheduling with your builder after applicable rough-in work is complete and before drywall installation begins. Builder permission and site access must be arranged in advance.
This inspection evaluates visible and accessible conditions at that stage of construction. It supplements municipal inspections and does not certify structural engineering or overall code compliance.
ParallaxAZ performs final new construction inspections once the home is substantially complete and before closing. A final inspection evaluates the completed home, complementing an earlier pre-drywall inspection when one has been performed.
Schedule before your final builder walkthrough whenever possible, allowing time to review the report and discuss findings with your builder. Coordinate access and confirm that utilities are on so available systems and appliances can be operated.
Depending on the home and accessibility, the inspection covers visible and accessible:
Your report documents the conditions observed at the time of inspection, along with any access limitations or components that could not be inspected.
Some roofs are difficult to access or unsafe to walk. Some builders also restrict or prohibit independent inspectors from walking on the roof.
When roof access is restricted, or walking the roof is unsafe, ParallaxAZ may use drone imagery to help observe and document visible roof conditions, subject to builder permission and applicable flight restrictions.

Drone imagery provides another perspective on roof coverings and visible roof features. Its usefulness depends on weather, airspace restrictions, visibility, and conditions at the property.
When roof access or visibility is limited, your report explains the inspection method and any areas that could not be evaluated.
When appropriate, ParallaxAZ uses thermal imaging to examine surface temperature patterns that are not visible in ordinary photographs.
These patterns may help identify areas needing closer evaluation, including possible moisture concerns, insulation irregularities, and unusual heating or cooling patterns.
Thermal imaging does not see through walls or confirm a defect by itself. Findings are considered alongside visual observations and other inspection tools, with further evaluation recommended when needed.
Some concerns become apparent only after you have lived in the home and its systems have experienced regular use and seasonal changes.
An 11-month inspection provides updated documentation of visible defects and operational concerns to discuss with your builder before applicable warranty deadlines.
Check your builder’s warranty terms and allow time to submit repair requests before coverage expires. The inspection documents findings; your warranty determines which items are covered.

Precision Through Perspective.
An independent inspection can provide information beyond what you may notice during a builder walkthrough. It gives you an opportunity to better understand and document the home’s visible condition before closing.
Ideally, schedule the inspection once construction is substantially complete but before your final builder walkthrough and closing. Coordinate the timing with your builder and real estate representative.
The inspection evaluates visible and accessible systems and components within the scope of the inspection, which may include the roof, exterior, structure, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, attic, insulation, windows, doors, appliances, interior components, and garage.
When appropriate, drone technology may be used to help observe and document roof areas that are difficult or unsafe to access. Chad Smith holds an FAA Part 107 Drone Certificate.
Thermal imaging may be used to identify unusual temperature patterns that warrant additional investigation. It supplements the visual inspection rather than replacing it.
No. A final new construction inspection occurs before closing. An 11-month builder warranty inspection is a separate inspection performed later, before the applicable builder warranty period expires.
