Stage Inspections are crucial if you are having a new home built to get independent, expert inspections throughout the building process.
During the inspection, the independent inspector will check if these three factors met the standards:
- Proper building techniques
- Workmanship

The inspections include critical observation of some aspects of the new home and the finished product as a whole.
The inspection involves four different stages:

1. The concrete slab
