New Home Construction Inspections
Central Florida new home construction inspections
Building a new home is exciting, but even newly constructed houses can have defects. Whether you’re purchasing a brand-new home in Orlando or preparing for your 1-year builder warranty inspection, having a third-party professional inspection ensures that your home is safe, structurally sound, and built to the highest standards.
At Central Florida Building Inspectors (CFBI), our licensed home inspectors specialize in new construction phase inspections and builder warranty inspections throughout Orlando and Central Florida. We work for you, not the builder, ensuring an unbiased and comprehensive assessment of your home.
Why get a new home construction inspection?
Even with city and county inspections, construction mistakes happen. Builders work with multiple subcontractors, and not all aspects of the construction process receive detailed oversight. Issues like poor workmanship, improper installations, and missed defects can lead to costly repairs down the road.
Municipal inspectors often have limited time per site, making a private home inspection critical to catching potential problems before you move in.
Common issues found
Structural problems (foundation cracks, framing misalignment)
Plumbing defects (leaks, improper drainage, missing shutoff valves)
Electrical issues (incorrect wiring, faulty panel installations)
HVAC concerns (improper ventilation, inadequate insulation)
Roofing & exterior defects (flashing issues, missing shingles)
Window & door misalignment (air leaks, poor sealing)
Cosmetic & finish defects (paint, flooring, cabinetry flaws)
A new home should be perfect on move-in day—let us help ensure it is!

What is a 1-Year builder warranty inspection?.
Most new home builders in Central Florida offer a 1-year workmanship and materials warranty that covers defects in construction. Before this period ends, you have a limited window to submit claims for repairs.
A 1-year builder warranty inspection allows us to thoroughly examine your home and document any defects, workmanship issues, or hidden damage that have surfaced after months of living in the home.
Common problems found in 1 Year Warranty inspections
Cracks & settlement damage in drywall, flooring, and foundation
HVAC inefficiencies due to leaks or poor installation
Plumbing leaks in walls or under sinks
Window & door misalignment affecting energy efficiency
Gaps in insulation & air sealing
Roofing & attic ventilation issues
Electrical panel & outlet problems
By getting a 1-year warranty home inspection, you’ll have a detailed, builder-ready report with photos and explanations, helping you negotiate necessary repairs before your warranty expires.
Why homeowners need a Builder Warranty inspection
- Catch issues early before they become expensive out-of-pocket repairs.
- Ensure builder accountability—warranty claims must be documented properly.
- Identify settlement & wear-related problems (foundation settling, drywall cracks, door misalignments).
- Detect hidden issues using thermal imaging and moisture testing to uncover leaks and insulation problems.
