Experienced home inspectors have learned that most all new homes have defects of one kind or another. And this occurs regardless of the quality of construction or the integrity of the builder. Human error, not just complacency, prevents anything as large and as complex as a home from being constructed flawlessly.

Unfortunately, the purpose, scope, time allotment and procedures for municipal inspections are not the same as for home inspections. Municipal inspectors inspect primarily for code compliance, not for quality of workmanship.
