NEW HOME CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT

Homeowners often notice construction conditions before the home is finished but aren't sure whether they should say something.

You may see framing that looks unusual, materials that don't match what you expected, work being covered before a concern is resolved, changes from the plans, or repeated corrections that don't seem right.

The builder may have a perfectly reasonable explanation.

But if something concerns you, the best time to understand it is usually before the work is covered or construction moves significantly beyond it.

CFG can help review the concern, available photographs, plans, specifications, communications, and other information to determine whether further evaluation may be appropriate.

You don't have to accuse the builder of doing something wrong. You simply need to understand what you're seeing.

Some construction problems do not become apparent until after you begin living in the home.

You may start noticing cracking, drainage problems, water intrusion, flooring movement, HVAC concerns, doors or windows that no longer operate properly, or repairs that fail to resolve the original condition.

That is what the builder warranty period is for—but simply submitting a warranty request does not always resolve the problem.

When a condition is recurring, getting worse, or being dismissed as “normal,” independent evaluation can help determine what is actually happening and what should be documented.

And as important warranty deadlines approach, timing becomes increasingly important.
