New Constuction Monitoring

PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT. Have the professional eye of your InspectionTechnologies Inspector carefully monitor the construction of your NEW, future home.  

Vermont is one of a few states that does not have State Inspectors.  In most states, inspectors for Electrical, Plumbing, and Construction must sign off on various phases of a construction project prior to work continuing.  This is not the case in Vermont.

In many cases, a General Contractor cannot always check the work of every single subcontractor working in your home. Due to a combination of rising supply and labor costs, contract deadlines, the unintentional use of inferior materials, construction shortcuts, and sometimes sloppy workmanship, new homes might not necessarily be the maintenance-free bargains they may at first appear to be.

The State processes hundred of complaints against builders each year.

Water seepage into crawlspaces and basements as a result of insufficient site cleaning and grading; Settling cracks to the foundation as a result of inadequate footing size or soil preparation; Inadequate attic ventilation, which lead to moisture damage, uncomfortably warm temperatures, and premature shingle failure;  Improperly installed  insulations; Poor roof construction and incorrectly installed flashing; Poorly fitted ductwork, and a wrong furnace installed for the specific application have all been found in our New Construction Monitoring process.
