New home inspections take more time because flaws aren't so immediately obvious. The reality is that every new home has a plethora of issues needing correction. From broken roof tiles to improper insulation, waste pipes not connected, unlabeled circuit breakers and much more, we've seen it all. Unfortunately, new construction problems are widespread and systemic, due to untrained subcontractors. Frankly, people who are not experts, and who don't know the building codes, are hired for tasks that require an expert who is on top of current standards. I also see defects from workers simply going to fast in addition to lack of expertise.
Savvy realtors will advise their new home buyers to have a comprehensive report from a reputable home inspector. Builders who had great reputations in the past have slipped down the scale as well. A good builder will take the findings as an opportunity to improve and to uphold their reputation.
