BUILDING INSPECTION AND EXPERTISE CABINET
The importance of a pre-acceptance inspection by a professional
As a new home buyer, you should know that your new property is protected by a warranty plan. To this end, note that all new houses or condominiums are covered by the Guarantee Plan for New Residential Buildings.
Under this guarantee plan, you must carry out the inspection of your new home once the work is completed, in the company of a professional familiar with building standards.
The pre-acceptance inspection is a crucial step in the purchase of a completely new house or condominium unit. Our team of inspectors and engineers can help you achieve this step successfully!
Objective of the pre-acceptance inspection
Regardless of the type of building covered by the warranty, a pre-acceptance inspection is required by le Regulation respecting the guarantee plan for new residential buildings.
The primary purpose of this inspection is to examine the systems and components of the building in order to detect the work to be completed, apparent defects and poor workmanship, as well as major construction defects, while indicating to your contractor the elements to be corrected or complete.
Why an inspection accompanied by a professional inspector?
The pre-acceptance inspection must be done jointly between you and your contractor. If you do not have good construction knowledge, we strongly recommend that you be accompanied by a professional of your choice during your pre-acceptance inspection.
You can carry out this very important step with an experienced person or a construction professional such as a member of theOrdre des ingénieurs du Québec.
