Thank you for your interest in my Home Building Consulting Services.
I can provide many different services as necessary for your project.
New Construction Inspections before insulation and drywall are very important. County inspections do not include workmanship issues and are typically done in less than 10 minutes. I spend 2 to 3 hours on a pre-drywall inspection. Call for information and pricing for your home.
Professional builders can save on warranty callbacks by utilizing my services. I recommmend a minimum of two inspections per home, pre-drywall and final. I have saved builders thousands of dollars by finding problems early in the construction process.
Note: Many builders require completion of a pre-drywall inspection up to one week before the insulation is scheduled to go in. Please schedule yours early and co-ordinate with the builder to ensure the window of opportunity does not pass.
Home Building Consultation Services
My services can eliminate expenses in many areas and provide a better built home with custom features.
I offer services based on your needs and direction, these can vary from just a few hours of assistance, to working with you and your builder throughout the entire project.
Some of the areas I can assist in are:
Research and planning for your home building project.
Site monitoring visits.
Workmanship evaluations and recommendations.
One of the many benefits is that I do not charge a flat rate fee where you have to pay a large sum in advance. Typically a small retainer is required and my fee is billed each week depending on the amount of assistance provided. An agreement must be signed prior to starting any inspection on an unfinished home. Please call for this agreement since it is different from the regular home inspection agreement and is customized to adapt to your home and desired services.
I am an independent contractor, the client and their project is my only concern.
Special pricing is available for clients that utilize my services for all of the following: Consultations, onsite construction evaluations and final inspections.
Note: Construction phase inspections are not regulated by NC or SC and E&O, GL insurance does not cover these inspections. Full responsibility of construction and final product is retained by the builder and the builders insurance.
Predrywall Inspection Fees vary by size (please include basement sf).
Add $25 for thorough crawlspace foundation inspection.
Note: these fees are not inflated in order to give a "discount" on the final inspection.
The final is also important and those fees are also very fair for the detail and quality of the inspection.
Slab foundation <1500sf $220
Slab foundation 1501 - 2000sf $250
Slab foundation 2001 - 3000sf $275
Slab foundation 3001 - 3500sf $300
Slab foundation 3501 - 4000sf $325
Slab foundation 4001 - 4500sf $350
Add $25 for each addtl. 500 square feet.
