A fresh, experienced set of eyes on your newly built home before you take the keys — catching defects and unfinished work while they're still the builder's responsibility to fix.
A new construction inspection is an independent evaluation of a newly built home before you take ownership — a thorough, unbiased look at the builder's work before the keys change hands. New construction is one of Jamie's core specialties, and it's exactly where an experienced second opinion pays off most.
It's a common misconception that a brand-new home is a flawless one. Between tight build schedules, multiple subcontractors, and municipal inspections that only check code minimums, defects and unfinished work slip through on nearly every build. An independent inspection catches those items while they're still the builder's responsibility to correct.
Jamie Meeks is a State of South Carolina Certified Real Estate Inspector (#RBI.49506) serving new-home buyers across Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand. Every inspection includes standard thermal imaging and a same-day report — giving you a clear punch list to hand your builder before closing.
A Same Team new construction inspection evaluates the home the builder is about to hand over — inside and out.
Framing, structural components, and how the home is put together — evaluated for quality and condition.
The core systems — wiring, panel, supply and drain lines, and heating and cooling — checked for correct install and function.
Roof, flashing, siding, grading, and exterior finishes — checked for workmanship and weather protection.
Doors, windows, trim, and fit-and-finish — plus unfinished or overlooked items other inspections miss.
The single biggest reason to have a new home independently inspected is timing. Before you close, defects and incomplete work are the builder's responsibility to fix. After you close, many of them quietly become yours — and out of pocket.
Municipal inspections confirm a home meets code, but code is the minimum standard, not a promise of quality. An independent inspection looks past the minimum: the workmanship, the finishes, the systems, and the details a busy build can leave undone.
Jamie hands you a clear, documented punch list you can give your builder before closing — so the items get corrected while it's still their obligation, not your project after move-in.
Your inspection delivers a photo- and video-rich, plain-language report the same day — a ready-to-use punch list for your builder.
From your first phone call to same-day report delivery, here's exactly what to expect.

Because new doesn't mean flawless. Tight schedules, many subcontractors, and code-minimum municipal inspections mean defects and unfinished work slip through on nearly every build. An independent inspection catches those items while they're still the builder's responsibility to fix.
City inspections confirm the home meets minimum building code — they aren't a check on workmanship, finish quality, or the details that affect how the home lives. An independent inspection looks well beyond code minimums.
Ideally right before your final walkthrough and closing, so any defects can be added to your builder's punch list and corrected before you take ownership. For bigger builds, many buyers also add a pre-drywall inspection earlier in the process.
