Warranty Inspections for the Builder

The Warranty Inspection package was designed with the busy builder in mind. We would customize a Warranty Program that serves you and your clients in a impartial way and in accordance with the Alberta New Home Buyers Protection Act.  We can also set up the program in which we call your vendors to fix deficiencies and follow up to ensure they are completed in a timely manner. This could benefit the builder as follows:

  • Time savings.
  • No part time warranty Administrator required.
  • Less hassle.
  • Competent, neutral and objective inspections. 
  • Certified inspector with a proper understanding of the homes systems and components.
  • Proper documentation for future references.
  • Clients instructed to the proper maintenance and upkeep of the home.
  • Timely inspections and maintenance reducing costly repairs down the road.
  • Satisfied clients advertising for you and willing to use you again for future projects!
