New Construction Home Inspections (1 hour class)

Thank you for going through all of these! I have an inspection scheduled in a few hours but I will be doing my own in depth inspection and bringing them to the actual inspectors attention

Excelent observations, are very helpful, thank you.

"Passed inspections - don't know how" - bribes is how. Happened with the new construction of my home. Couple years later the code inspector was arrested for taking bribes.

Even as an experienced inspector Reuben I would like to see more of these types of videos.

What I am wanting to know is how the plumber start and how he takes measurements to dig the trenches and and run all the pipes to the designed locations in a land where nothing is yet built. How everything (bath, kitchen, laundry, etc) matches to the precise location after the house is built?

Love the (painted?) insect nest at 24:24. I get that your point is slope, but I do not see any purple primer on the PVC. Did they actually glue the joints? 46:03

@54:30 “Definitely don’t stick your hand in there you’re not getting it back” 😂

Hi Reuben I hear you’ll be teaching a new construction class for our Illinois ASHI chapter in August. I can’t wait to see you again !!!

Excellent tutorial.

I just found your channel. I do not have time to watch this one hour video right now but I subscribed and I will later. Thank you. Gia

Great video! Thank you

Very helpful. What about three story town homes? A drone is not going to cut it and my understanding is no inspector want go to up there. I guess a heavy rainstorm would be the judge of that.

Excellent.

Question, are all of these auxiliary certified by "company abc xyz" necessary? I did some market research and it seem that is all that's pushed in our industry. I do understand that legally it looks better on your defense cases if that ever comes up. My thoughts are as long as I'm getting my state requirements on CE do I need to pay someone to certify me on things I know already. Is it a psychological trick on customers, the guy with more merit badges get the job? (Over 18 years in the construction trades, 2 years state licensed, and constantly self educating)

How do I find a knowledgeable inspector like you? My daughter's and are thinking buying a new homes in Texas, and we want to hire a person to inspect out two homes.

Is the Realtor doing the inspection?

Good video

I'm a home owner, not a real estate agent, who will be downsizing in 1 to 3 years. Do you have a package for non-professionals not seeking credits? I wish to feel more confident during the process of visiting and eliminating all but the one house I'll have inspected. It's not in the budget to pay for a dozen (or more) inspections of possible home contenders! The idea of educating myself occurred to me while watching "Mike Holmes:Buy It Right." On the TV series, Holmes, along with the house hunter, inspects several (3?4?) houses which are of interest. It's surprising how some houses which appear to be a wreck, aren't too costly to repair or upgrade. And visa versa. So, although I've always paid to have my final house selection inspected, it occurs to me I may have overlooked better choices during the elimination process. I'm sure the last thing you want to hear is about a half-hour TV series! However, I'm aware these shows are mainly entertainment - and a bathroom gut and remodel takes more than an hour! But at least this particular show highlights the value of house inspections so it's not all bad. Right? Thanks

THANX
