New Construction Inspections

Argos Inspection Service provides professional property inspections for residential and commercial clients—delivering clear documentation, practical findings, and informed decision support.

Buyers

Inspections provide buyers with a clear understanding of a property’s visible condition, helping identify material concerns, maintenance needs, and areas requiring further evaluation before completing a purchase.

Sellers

Seller inspections help identify issues in advance of listing, allowing informed decisions about disclosures, repairs, or pricing—reducing surprises during the transaction process.

Builders & Project Managers

Independent documentation helps keep communication clean and reduces end-of-project disputes.

Property Owners & Investors

Inspections assist property owners in understanding current conditions, planning maintenance, and evaluating systems over time—whether preparing for a sale, managing assets, or addressing specific concerns.

New Construction Inspection Services

Independent, stage-based inspections providing objective documentation of visible construction conditions to support quality, clarity, and confidence throughout the building process.

Construction phase inspections provide independent, third-party observation at key milestones during the building process. These inspections document visible conditions, workmanship, and system installation as they exist at the time of inspection, before components are concealed.
Phase inspections are intended to supplement—not replace—municipal building inspections by providing additional clarity, photographic documentation, and early visibility into construction progress to support informed decision-making.

Foundation Inspection

Documents visible foundation and slab conditions prior to concealment.

A foundation inspection is performed after footings, foundation walls, or slabs are placed and before concealment by framing or backfill, where accessible. The inspection documents visible foundation components, drainage provisions, and installation practices as observed at the time of inspection.
Early documentation helps establish a baseline condition for the structure and identify visible concerns before construction advances.

Framing Inspection

Observes structural framing and workmanship before finishes are installed.

A framing inspection evaluates the visible structural components of the building once framing is substantially complete and before insulation or interior finishes are installed. Observations focus on framing layout, load paths, connections, and general workmanship where accessible.
This phase provides documentation of structural conditions prior to concealment and supports early identification of visible items that may warrant clarification or correction.

(MEP) Rough-In Inspection

Reviews visible mechanical, electrical, and plumbing system installation prior to enclosure.

An MEP rough-in inspection is conducted after mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems are installed but before insulation or drywall is applied. The inspection focuses on visible system layout, routing, support, and general installation practices.
Documenting system conditions at this stage helps support coordination between trades and provides a clear record before systems are concealed.

Pre-Drywall Inspection

Consolidated inspection capturing structural and system conditions before drywall.

A pre-drywall inspection provides a consolidated review of visible structural and rough-in system components, (and insulation where installed at time of inspection), and system components immediately prior to wall and ceiling coverings being installed. This inspection captures a comprehensive snapshot of the building before concealment.
It is commonly used to confirm observed conditions align with expectations before the project transitions into finish stages.

Final Inspection

Overview inspection documenting completed, accessible components at project completion.

A final inspection is performed when construction is substantially complete and utilities are operational. The inspection evaluates visible and readily accessible interior and exterior components, finishes, and major systems as they exist at the time of inspection.
This inspection provides documentation of the completed structure and establishes a reference point for the owner prior to occupancy.

Financial and warranty inspections are designed to support construction financing, payment verification, and warranty utilization through objective, non-invasive documentation. These inspections focus on observed construction progress or completed conditions as they exist at the time of inspection and are performed for informational and verification purposes.
Argos Inspection Service provides clear, structured reporting intended to support communication between owners, lenders, builders, and other project stakeholders. These inspections do not authorize payments or enforce warranty obligations but provide independent observations to assist in decision-making.

Draw Inspections

Visual documentation of construction progress to support financing and draw requests.

A draw inspection is performed to document construction progress at a specific point in time for financing or payment purposes. The inspection focuses on visually verifying completed stages of work relative to the project’s construction timeline or draw schedule.
Draw inspections typically include photographic documentation and written observations confirming the presence and general completion of observable work. These inspections support lenders and owners by providing independent progress verification but do not constitute approval of workmanship, payment authorization, or code compliance.

11-Month Warranty Inspection

Independent inspection identifying visible conditions prior to builder warranty expiration.

An 11-month warranty inspection is conducted near the end of a builder’s one-year warranty period to identify visible and accessible conditions that may warrant further review prior to warranty expiration.
The inspection consists of a non-invasive, visual evaluation of the home’s readily accessible components and systems as they exist at the time of inspection. Findings are documented in a clear report that homeowners may use to communicate observed conditions to their builder while warranty coverage remains in effect.
This inspection helps homeowners take advantage of warranty protections without implying future performance or obligating corrective action.

Defined Scope

Inspections are performed based on clearly defined scope and standards.

Documentation & Reporting

Findings are documented with photographs and written explanations.

Informed Decision Support

Reports are designed to support informed decisions—not predict future performance.

Additional Inspection Services

Additional services such as radon testing, pest inspections, well water testing, and other specialty evaluations may be available or coordinated as part of an inspection engagement.

_{Availability and scope may vary by property and agreement}

RADON TESTING

Licensed radon measurement using continuous monitors. Results help you understand current radon levels and whether mitigation may be warranted.

MOLD TESTING

Visual assessment for conditions conducive to microbial growth. Sampling options may be available by request depending on conditions and scope.

WELL WATER ANALYSIS

Laboratory testing for private well water quality. Common packages available for real estate transactions, including FHA/VA-style panels when requested.

TERMITE INSPECTION

Wood-destroying organism inspection and reporting (where offered/available). Useful for real estate transactions and risk awareness.

Inspection Scope Clarification
