Phase I and II New Construction Inspections and Sample Reports
Inspections are taken at critical times during the building process. This documentation will give you invaluable peace of mind in knowing that your new home is being constructed in accordance with the International Residential Code (IRC) for One & Two Family Dwellings, local building codes and standards and design specifications. You should never allow quality control to take a back seat to money saving short cuts.
These inspections are not all about proper placement of building components, but are designed to be informative and educational at the same time. The report will identify sizing, spacing, materials used and location of HVAC Equipment, panel boxes, water heaters, water lines and plumbing cleanouts. This information is as important as the proper construction of the home itself.
Here is What One of Our Clients Had to Say
"Living in China and building a home in Prosper, Texas is a challenge, especially at property inspection time. With reason we contracted the No. 1 builder in the DFW area. However my wife and I kept asking ourselves "Is this enough?". We decided not, and contracted A-Action Home Inspection Group to perform our stage inspections during the construction process.
After Phase I, the pre-pour inspection, we were glad we had. A-Action found seven problems with vapor barriers, post tension cables, pocket formers and waste pipes. Even if I had made the inspection myself, I would not have caught most of these problems. Subsequently, the builder corrected all issues before pouring the slab.
Phase I convinced us we had done the right thing by contracting A-Action. They will continue inspection phases on our home.
My wife and I have more confidence we will get a better-built house by using A-Action Home Inspection Group. Peace of mind is worth the price."

Phase I: Foundation Pre-pour Inspecti
on
This critical inspection takes place before the concrete is poured ensuring that the footing is in accordance with the design specifications, (i.e., size and /or dimensions of the support beams, and structural steel content) and that you have proper placement and installation of the post-tension cables. This inspection also includes inspecting for proper placement, installation and protection of the copper water lines.
Phase II: Framing & Mechanical Inspection (Before Sheetrock)
Once the rough-in electrical, plumbing, heating & air conditioning equipment are in place and the interior, exterior framed walls are complete, the roof sheathing and roofing material are in place, the structure is basically secure from water intrusion.
Then you are ready for your pre dry-wall inspection. We will come back to the property before the drywall is hung and insulation put in. We will check the interior and exterior framing, wiring, roof, and plumbing to make sure everything matches the plans.
A detailed report is then completed at each phase inspection. The report will include digital pictures of defects found and black & white illustrations of proper installation. No matter where you are, this report can be emailed or faxed to you by the next working day.
