New Construction & Phase Inspections in New Braunfels, Texas
Building or buying a new home in New Braunfels? It’s easy to assume everything will be flawless—but new construction homes can (and often do) have issues.
With tight build timelines, multiple subcontractors, and fast-paced development across the area, mistakes happen. Our job is to catch those issues before they become your problem.
At Heritage Property Inspections, we provide detailed new construction and phase inspections so you can move forward with confidence—knowing what’s right and what needs attention.
⚠️ Why New Construction Inspections Matter
Even brand-new homes can have:
- Improper framing or structural concerns
- Roofing or flashing defects
- Electrical and plumbing installation issues
- HVAC setup problems
- Incomplete or rushed finishes
City inspections are important—but they’re limited in scope and time. We provide a more detailed, buyer-focused evaluation.
🔍 Our New Construction Inspection Options
We offer flexible inspection stages depending on where you are in the build process:
🧱 Pre-Drywall (Phase) Inspection
This is one of the most important inspections.
We evaluate:
- Framing and structural components
- Roof decking and visible installation
- Electrical rough-in
- Plumbing rough-in
- HVAC ducting and layout
👉 Issues found here are much easier (and cheaper) to fix before walls are closed.
🏠 Final Phase Inspection
Performed before closing, this inspection covers:
- All major systems (roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC)
- Interior finishes and installation quality
- Exterior components and drainage
- Safety concerns and functional defects
👉 This ensures the home is ready before you take ownership.
📅 11-Month Warranty Inspection
Before your builder warranty expires, we re-inspect the home to identify:
- Settlement and foundation movement
- System performance issues
- Items that may qualify for warranty repair
👉 This is your last chance to have the builder address issues at their cost.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need an inspection on a new home?
Yes. New homes can still have defects, and an independent inspection helps catch issues early. Read more on my blog post “🏗️ Do I Really Need a Home Inspection on a New Construction Home?”.
When should I schedule a phase inspection?
Typically before drywall is installed. Your builder can help confirm timing.
Will the builder fix issues found?
Most builders will address legitimate concerns, especially when documented clearly.
