New Home Construction in Virginia Beach and Chesapeake
At one time buying a home was the American Dream. Here lately, that dream more frequently becomes a nightmare. If you follow my directions step by step, your new home construction will not become a nightmare.
First one of my most important suggestions is the use of a third party inspector. Be sure to include in the contract that you plan to use a third party inspector, as some builders try to limit your presence or the presence of your representative on the property to at most two or three walk thru inspections to see how the process is going. This just simply is not sufficient. You need your inspector to frequently visit the property to make sure all is going well..
There is a lot of shoddy building going on out there and you do not want to be a recipient of one of those homes.
If you have a serious interest in finding out just how serious this problem is, visit hadd.com or hobb.org.

To many new buyers of new homes, rely on the City Inspector to ensure that the new home is constructed properly. The job of the city inspector is to make sure that minimum standards are being met and believe you me, you want more than the bare minimum construction.
When selecting your home inspector, ask for references, everyone had to start somewhere, but would you really want a heart surgeon to do a bypass on you if it was the very first one he had done…
I thought not.
Ask many questions of the inspector and attend his inspections when possible. Be sure that the inspector understands that you expect him to go back and re-inspect after the builder reports that all repairs have been done. This will cost more, but is well worth the money.
