★★★★★ South Florida's Top-Rated Home Inspector
Just because it's new doesn't mean it's perfect — a comprehensive pre-purchase inspection that holds your builder to the standard you're paying for.
Builder-Independent Inspector · South Florida
Short answer
Yes, a new home needs an inspection: builder mistakes such as improperly fastened roof trusses, misrouted plumbing and disconnected HVAC ducts get buried behind drywall before closing. A TruView new construction inspection is a full home inspection held to a higher standard, and TruView documents findings for you, not the builder. It costs $350 to $750+ by size ($350–$450 up to 2,000 sq ft, $450–$600 for 2,000–4,000 sq ft, $600–$750+ above that), includes a free wind mitigation report, and the same-day report is ready for builder warranty submission.
Most new construction buyers assume they don't need an inspection — it's brand new, the builder has quality control, and the city inspector already approved it. That assumption gets buyers into trouble every day. Builders work with large crews under tight schedules, and mistakes happen: improperly fastened roof trusses, misrouted plumbing, disconnected HVAC duct joints, missed fire blocking, and electrical rough-in errors — all buried behind drywall before closing.
A new construction inspection is a full home inspection held to a higher standard. Because you're buying new, everything should be right — and TruView documents every defect, cosmetic imperfection, and system issue in a same-day HD report before you close. The city inspector works for the municipality, not for you. TruView works for you — giving you the documentation you need to hold your builder accountable.
TruView has dedicated regional inspectors across South and Central Florida — Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, the Treasure Coast, and Central Florida. Same-day reporting, builder-independent, and backed by a 200% money-back guarantee.

Florida New Construction Expertise
Florida is one of the fastest-growing new construction markets in the United States — and the high volume of builds creates conditions where mistakes happen and oversight matters.
Most buyers think new construction means no problems. In practice, Florida's rapid building pace — especially in Central Florida and the Treasure Coast — creates conditions where quality control suffers under schedule pressure. Common findings in new construction inspections include improper roof-to-wall connections, HVAC ductwork not properly sealed, plumbing rough-in errors, and a long list of cosmetic defects that should never exist in a brand-new home. Your builder's inspector works for the builder. TruView works for you.
Port St. Lucie, Stuart, and Jensen Beach are among Florida's fastest-growing communities. Slab-on-grade construction is standard in this region, making the pre-pour inspection especially important for verifying plumbing rough-in and rebar placement before concrete is poured and access is permanently lost.
Florida's building code requires specific hurricane-resistant construction standards — including wind-rated windows and doors, roof-to-wall connections, and roof deck fastening patterns. TruView inspectors document these features on every new construction inspection and include a free wind mitigation report so you can maximize hurricane insurance discounts from your first policy.
Florida law provides new home buyers with specific warranty rights under the Florida New Home Warranty Act — including a 1-year workmanship warranty, 2-year mechanical warranty, and 10-year structural warranty. Documenting defects during construction creates a contemporaneous record that is far more effective for warranty claims than attempting to document issues after closing when their origin is disputed.

Simple Process
Book your inspection before your closing date — just like any home purchase. TruView coordinates directly with you and can work around your builder's schedule to ensure access to the property before you sign.
Your TruView inspector conducts a complete inspection of the home — structural, mechanical, and cosmetic — to a higher standard than a resale home, because everything is new and should be right.
Your complete HD report with photos of every finding is delivered the same day. The report is formatted for builder warranty submission so you can request corrections before closing.
Bring your documented findings to your builder's warranty department and request corrections before you close. A professional inspector's report carries weight — most builders respond quickly with documented findings in hand.
Comprehensive Coverage
Add any of the following to your new construction inspection booking for complete peace of mind.
Camera inspection of main sewer and drain lines to verify proper rough-in, slope, and freedom from debris before closing — catches plumbing defects that would be costly to repair after move-in.
Book This Add-On →Radon can be present in new construction, especially in slab-on-grade homes in Central Florida. Test before closing and mitigate during construction if levels are elevated.
Learn More →Construction moisture and South Florida's humidity can cause mold growth inside wall cavities before drywall is hung. Air sampling before closing catches problems while the builder is still responsible.

The videos are very informative, the response from the inspector was great, received the inspection the same day and I appreciated that he focused on bigger ticket and larger issues. Will definitely be using them again."
"Matthew Miller was our Inspector and he provided a very thorough Inspection. Despite the home being a new construction, he found a variety of repairs needed amounting to 10k and we are requesting that they be fixed before moving in. I highly recommend him and Truview."
"These guys were great. There were some problems with the lock box and they stayed for over 2 hours (on Christmas Eve) until it got figured out and they could complete the inspection. I received a detailed report right away. Incredibly impressed and will use them again!"
Common Questions
Municipal inspectors check for code compliance — they are not on your side. They inspect quickly and at a high level and are not designed to catch workmanship defects. A TruView inspector documents findings in detail with HD photos for your benefit, giving you a record you can use to hold your builder accountable.
There are three critical windows: (1) Pre-pour — before concrete is poured; (2) Pre-drywall — before drywall covers the framing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC; (3) Final walkthrough — before your closing date. The pre-drywall inspection is the most valuable because it is the last chance to see inside your walls.
New construction inspection pricing mirrors standard home inspection pricing — typically $350–$450 for homes under 1,500 sq ft, $450–$600 for 1,500–3,000 sq ft, and $600–$750+ for larger homes. Wind mitigation is included free. Call your regional team for an exact quote.
Yes — TruView's same-day HD reports with photos document every defect found before closing. Builder warranty claims are much easier to pursue with contemporaneous documentation. Many builders respond more quickly to repair requests when presented with a professional inspector's documented findings.
New homes typically do not require a 4-point inspection for insurance because all systems are new. However, TruView includes a free wind mitigation inspection with your final walkthrough — which can qualify your new home for significant hurricane insurance discounts from day one.
Yes. Central Florida is one of Florida's fastest-growing new construction markets. TruView's Central Florida regional team serves Orange, Osceola, and Seminole counties — regularly inspecting new builds in Orlando, Kissimmee, Sanford, and surrounding communities. Call (407) 613-2700.
TruView documents all findings with HD photos in a same-day report. You bring the report to your builder's superintendent or warranty department and request corrections before your closing date. Defects documented before closing are significantly less expensive to resolve than post-closing warranty claims.
TruView serves all five regions with dedicated inspectors familiar with local builders, community developers, and new construction standards in each market.
