Jayme - we agree. We advise our buyers to have an inspection on new home construction. There are always items found. And, we get a big "thank you" from our buyers.
I had a builder object boisterously about wanting to do a home inspection. Then he was all too quiet when the electrical issues came up. Even with the new home warranties mandated in our state, it's never a bad idea.
Ed,
Some time ago one of my clients wanted to test for radon on a new house and the builder told him it was not necessary. Results came back at over twice the EPA limit. In talking with a neighbor, the builder knew full well that the neighborhood had high radon levels as he had to pay for to install mitigation systems. Innocent mistakes do happen during construction but sometimes things are covered up.
Thanks for the comments everyone!
