New Construction QA — Independent Quality Review
Municipal inspections check minimum code compliance. They are not quality assurance. The best time to find and fix defects is before they're covered up — not after you've moved in.

Why Independent Review Matters
Municipal inspectors check minimum code compliance — they are not looking for quality. They visit briefly, check specific items, and move on. They are not your advocate.
An independent construction review by a Certified Master Inspector® is different. We look at everything — not just what's on the checklist. We document what we find, explain what it means, and give you clear options for correction while the builder is still on site and legally responsible.
"The best time to fix a defect is before it's covered up. After drywall it becomes a negotiation. Before drywall it's a phone call."
