YOUR INSPECTION, EXPLAINED

Questions about your inspection

How long will the inspection take?

Typically about 2½–3 hours. The home’s size, age and accessibility to major systems can make the visit shorter or longer.

Is this always an 11-month inspection?

No. The 11th month is a common planning point for a one-year builder warranty, but you can arrange an inspection earlier. Your builder’s written coverage and submission deadlines determine the date to work toward.

Can you confirm the builder fixed an item?

A follow-up inspection can document the visible, accessible condition of specific items after a repair. It cannot verify work hidden behind finished surfaces or guarantee the repair will never fail. Share the original findings and repair details so we can agree on what to recheck.

Is this a home warranty policy?

No. A Builder’s Warranty Inspection documents visible, accessible conditions to discuss with your builder. It does not provide warranty coverage or decide which repairs are covered. Check your actual warranty terms and submission instructions.

How much does a Builder’s Warranty Inspection cost?

Our published price guide starts at $550 for homes up to 1,999 sq ft. Property details and requested services affect the total; review your property-specific quote before booking. Both 4 Point and Wind Mitigation reports are included at no additional inspection charge with a full inspection under 4,000 sq ft. At 4,000 sq ft or more, standalone insurance rates apply.

Should I wait until the last month of my warranty?

No. Book while there is still time to inspect, review the report and submit concerns through your builder’s required process. Booking an inspection does not extend the warranty or its submission deadline.

What should I tell the inspector about changes since move-in?

Share recurring leaks, cooling concerns, cracks or doors that have changed, including where and when you notice them. Photos and relevant builder correspondence add context to the review of accessible conditions.

Optional: property records and local guidance for Parkland

A useful report starts with how the home has behaved

Recurring concerns in the home, earlier repairs and any changes to outdoor or detached features give context to the warranty visit. Parkland’s current records route is My Government Online. Building records can explain work history; your builder’s written warranty determines how concerns are submitted.

Use Parkland’s current permitting route

  1. Start from Parkland’s Building Department page.
  2. Follow its current My Government Online link; the former Trakit system is no longer available.
  3. For records you cannot find, ask Building staff how to research the relevant address and work period.
Parkland’s current Building Department portal

Use the record to prepare questions. It does not establish the home’s current condition.

Bring these details to your inspection

  • Make a room-by-room concern log with dates or conditions when each issue appears.
  • Identify any outdoor or detached features needing a separately agreed scope.
  • Gather prior repair correspondence and use the city’s current portal for relevant work history.

Local property questions

I saved an old Parkland permit link. Should I use it for repair history?

Begin with the current Building Department page. Parkland directs users away from its former Trakit system to My Government Online. If an older repair record is unavailable, ask the department for the appropriate research route rather than treating an empty result as a finding about the work.
