New-build inspection — Building surveyor — Professionals

Providers should match inspection timing to the client's questions. Identify current drawing revisions and site restrictions, then report observations and evidence gaps without presenting a final snagging visit as continuous supervision of construction.

Service scope

Independent inspection of a new building or newly completed dwelling at an agreed stage, focusing on observable construction, finishes and relevant evidence. Stage inspections and final snagging have different purposes and must be specified rather than assumed equivalent.

What is normally included

  • New-building inspection against an agreed stage brief
  • Defect and incomplete-work recording
  • Identification of follow-up or evidence needs

What is not included

  • Guarantee that all defects are visible
  • Automatic building-control or warranty-provider approval

Qualification checks

  • Confirm stage
  • Review design information
  • Agree safe access
  • Identify concealed-work limitations
  • Define report and reinspection scope

Quote guidance

Price the stated stage or visit programme with reporting. Identify repeat attendance and specialist tests separately rather than implying unlimited inspections throughout the build.

Lead risks

  • Programme changes can make the scheduled visit unproductive
  • Clients may confuse snagging with complete construction certification
