What is a new-construction phase inspection and do I need one in Woodbury?

With ongoing development in and around Woodbury, many buyers are purchasing brand-new homes, and a phase inspection lets an independent inspector check the work before the builder closes it up. Common phases are the pre-pour or foundation stage, the pre-drywall stage when framing, wiring, plumbing, and HVAC rough-ins are still visible, and a final walkthrough before closing. The pre-drywall visit is the most valuable because once drywall goes up, problems disappear behind the walls. Even reputable builders work fast during a construction boom, and a third-party set of eyes catches missed framing connections, drainage and grading issues, or insulation gaps. This is independent of the municipal code inspections the city performs, which verify minimums, not workmanship or your interests. Hiring your own inspector gives you documentation and leverage to have issues corrected on the builder's dime.
