NOT GETTING A NEW BUILD INSPECTED CAN POSE SEVERAL RISKS INCLUDING :
- SAFETY RISKSWhen a new building is constructed, there is always a risk that it may have structural issues that could impact the safety of the building and those who occupy it. Some of these issues may include problems with the foundation, such as uneven settling or cracking. Inadequate framing or poor installation of structural components can also cause issues, leading to structural instability or even collapse. Faulty wiring or plumbing can also pose risks, as they may cause electrical fires or water damage, respectively. It is important to have a thorough inspection of a new build to identify any such issues and address them before they become major problems.
- LEGAL RISKSLocal building codes and regulations are put in place to ensure the safety and well-being of the occupants of a building. If a new build does not meet these codes and regulations, it can lead to legal consequences such as fines or penalties. Furthermore, if the building is deemed unsafe or a hazard, the local authorities may require it to be demolished or reconstructed to bring it up to code. Failing to comply with local building codes and regulations can result in significant financial and legal consequences for the property owner or builder.
- FINANCIAL RISKSWhen significant issues go undetected during construction of a new build, they can lead to expensive repairs and renovations later on. For instance, structural damage that goes unnoticed during construction can worsen over time, leading to more extensive repairs. Additionally, when you plan to sell the property in the future, any undisclosed issues can lower the value of the property or lead to costly legal battles with the buyers. For these reasons, it's essential to have a thorough inspection done during construction to catch any issues early and avoid these potential risks.
