The process of inspecting new homes during the various stages or phases of construction is often referred to as a 3-phase inspection. Imperial Pro Inspection conducts thorough 3-phase inspections specifically for new homes in Richmond, TX, and the surrounding Fort Bend County area. Our mission is to provide quality control documentation throughout construction, ensuring that each inspection meets the highest standards. We approach every inspection with the care and attention we would give to our own home.
Before concrete is poured, Imperial Pro’s Phase 1 Pre-Pour Inspection ensures the foundation design is prepared correctly. We check form boards, reinforcement, plumbing, and site prep to prevent costly issues later. Protect your investment by starting your new home on solid ground.
Once framing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC are in place—but before drywall is installed—Imperial Pro’s Phase 2 Inspection verifies everything is properly built and safe. Catch hidden defects before they’re covered and guarantee a strong structure for your new home.
Before move-in, Imperial Pro’s Phase 3 Final Inspection confirms your new home is safe, complete, and built to standard. We check finishes, systems, and safety features so you can move in with confidence. Trust our comprehensive review to ensure your home is truly move-in ready.
At the 11-month mark, Imperial Pro’s Phase 4 Builder Warranty Inspection identifies problems still covered by your builder. From foundation movement to system defects, we help you make warranty claims before coverage ends. Protect your home and avoid paying out-of-pocket for builder-related repairs.
Every phase of your new construction inspection includes a professional foundation elevation survey using precision digital tools. This provides a performance baseline from pre-drywall to final and even into your builder warranty period, helping detect early signs of settlement or drainage issues before they become costly. Other companies skip this entirely — we include it at no extra cost to protect your investment from the ground up.
New construction inspections are already priced below our resale home inspections.
This inspection is performed just before your final walkthrough with the builder. It’s a complete TREC-licensed home inspection that covers every system and component, plus specialized services like a foundation elevation survey, infrared thermal imaging, moisture intrusion testing, and sprinkler system operation check.
Even new homes can have defects in workmanship, installation, or materials. A thorough final inspection ensures any issues are documented before closing so the builder can correct them at no cost to you.
Our inspection includes a full TREC home inspection, foundation elevation survey drawing, infrared thermal imaging scan, moisture intrusion meter testing, sprinkler system operation check, blue tape guidance for cosmetic defects, and an industry-leading report delivered within 24 hours or less.
We take multiple elevation readings across the home to document any uneven settling or slope before you move in. In Houston’s expansive clay soils, this baseline data is valuable for future warranty claims or foundation performance monitoring.
Infrared scans detect temperature differences that can indicate missing insulation, air leaks, or moisture intrusion inside walls and ceilings—problems you can’t see with the naked eye during a walkthrough.
We use professional-grade meters to detect elevated moisture levels in walls, ceilings, and floors. This can reveal active leaks or water damage from roof, window, or plumbing issues before they become costly repairs.
We provide guidance for marking cosmetic defects—such as paint touch-ups, drywall imperfections, and trim gaps—so you can address them with your builder before move-in.
Yes. We operate each zone to verify coverage, functionality, and leaks. This is included at no extra cost for final inspections in our service area.
You’ll receive your detailed, photo-rich report within 24 hours or less. This gives you time to review it before your final walkthrough and closing.
We provide you with a clear, professional report you can share with your builder. While we don’t negotiate repairs, our documentation helps ensure items are addressed before closing.
Schedule it when construction is substantially complete—appliances installed, utilities active, and all systems operable—ideally 2–5 days before your final walkthrough so there’s time for the builder to correct issues.
Yes. City/county inspections focus on minimum code compliance and may not evaluate cosmetic details, insulation quality, or certain installation errors. Our inspection is more comprehensive and tailored to your interests as the homeowner.
Even if we’ve already inspected earlier phases, the final inspection ensures that all systems are functioning, earlier corrections were completed, and no new issues have developed during the final construction push.
