FAQs
Are home inspectors licensed in Utah?
Utah does not currently require a state home-inspector license. Choose providers with strong credentials, insurance, clear sample reports, and reviews.
Who should be onsite?
For builders: the superintendent or trade lead with authority to action items.
For buyers: you’re welcome near the end for a walkthrough; we’ll brief you without disrupting site workflow.
Is this a “code inspection”?
We are an independent QA/QC service and are certified in both residential/commercial building codes. We follow recognized inspection standards and the Utah State Construction Code as a reference, but final code authority rests with the local building official.
Do you follow a Standard of Practice?
Yes—our scope and reporting align with nationally recognized home-inspection standards (InterNACHI/ASHI) adapted for new-construction phases, plus builder checklists.
How is a punch-list different from an inspection report?
Your punch-list is a concise, assignable list for trades with locations, photos, and status. The report documents conditions with context and references. We provide both so supers can close items quickly.
What’s your re-inspection policy?
After corrections, we can return for a targeted re-inspection to verify fixes and update the punch-list. Pricing depends on scope and number of items.
Who do you serve?
We help homebuyers, owner-builders, and production/custom builders with pre-drywall inspections, quick-punch lists, and final QA/QC verifications so issues are caught early and resolved fast.
What is a pre-drywall inspection and why do it?
It’s a detailed review after framing, rough MEP, and HVAC are in place—before walls are closed. Finding deficiencies now prevents expensive rework and delays later.
What do you check at pre-drywall?
Structure/framing, rough electrical/plumbing/HVAC, fireblocking/draftstopping, penetrations and clearances, exterior WRB openings, attic/bath vent terminations, and manufacturer install details visible at this stage. (Final finishes are checked later.)
Do you use technology like thermal imaging or drones?
We use pro-grade tools (moisture meters, thermal imaging where conditions allow, 360° photos/video). If drone imaging is requested/appropriate, operations comply with FAA Part 107.
