Construction Progress Assessments
Draw Inspections and Pre-Design/Pre-Construction Building Documentation for Commercial and Residential Properties with Nationwide Coverage
For new construction projects, you’ll want a professional on-site to regularly monitor building progress. Our NPI inspectors will conduct progress inspections to ensure improvements are being made with the highest standards and on schedule according to your contract agreement.
With Construction Progress Assessments, your National Property Inspections inspector will create a written report complete with high-resolution photos based on parameters and a timeline set by you, which may include:
- Establishing the level of completion of the overall construction at a given point in time.
- Observing and remarking on the quality of the materials and craftsmanship.
- Providing data to help verify loan agreements.
- Reporting on the status of stored materials.
Draw Inspections
When a builder completes a certain percentage of work on a property, banks and lending institutions often require a draw inspection before releasing additional funds. This inspection confirms that specific stages of construction have been completed and align with the amount of money being requested. NPI inspectors have performed thousands of draw inspections, providing detailed documentation to help lenders determine whether the draw request is fair and reasonable for the work completed to date. These inspections protect financial institutions from overpayment and ensure accountability throughout the construction process.
Phase Inspections
Phase inspections are ideal for property buyers or owners who want to ensure that construction of their new home or commercial property is progressing properly at key stages. These inspections provide peace of mind that work meets building standards and aligns with project schedules and budgets. Common phases include:
- Foundation inspection – verifies site preparation, foundation layout, and structural integrity before framing begins.
- Framing inspection – assesses framing, roofing, and major systems before drywall installation.
- Final inspection – confirms that all construction has been completed according to plan and that the property is ready for occupancy.
NPI phase inspections help owners identify potential issues early, ensuring their investment is protected and construction stays on track and within budget.
Pre-Design and Pre-Construction Building Documentation
NPI also provides architects, engineers and construction project managers with details about a building’s space prior to designing the build-out. These detailed site surveys provide necessary details, such as measurement and location of HVAC ducts and drain lines, as well as width, height, and depth of interior areas prior to designing build-outs. These reports save other professionals from unnecessary, potentially inaccurate, site visits and expenses.
