Constructing a new house is a complex task that involves several sub-contractors, each handling different parts or components of the house. Often, builders sub-contract parts of the project to other builders that charge lower fees. Even the best builders cannot handle the process of building a new house all alone without missing out some things
With a home inspection undertaken by a professional inspector, all the things missed out can be identified and put in place before signing off and moving in.
