Primary inspection
Independent New Build Home Inspection
A full independent inspection of your finished home in Edinburgh or the Lothians, written up for the people who will put it right.
Why you need it
Your developer signs off their own work. A finished home can look immaculate and still carry dozens of defects behind the decoration — and the window to have them put right is limited.
What it gives you
A complete, evidenced record of the condition of your home at handover, and a document your developer can work through without argument.
Why choose us
Carried out personally by a residential construction Project Manager with no relationship to your builder, with drone roof imagery included and your report within 48 hours.
