New Construction Inspection in Four Corners, FL
Four Corners buyers in the ChampionsGate corridor need a new construction inspection before accepting keys from builders who are delivering homes at high volume.
Four Corners, FL
New Construction Inspection in Four Corners
Four Corners sits at the intersection of Polk, Lake, Osceola, and Orange Counties, and it has become one of Central Florida's most active zones for new construction. ChampionsGate and surrounding communities have seen rapid buildout through the 2000s into the 2020s, driven by vacation rental demand and investment buyers purchasing homes from out of state or internationally. The pace of construction in this corridor creates real quality control gaps that a new construction inspection is specifically designed to catch before the buyer takes possession.
High-volume builder activity in Four Corners produces a predictable set of defects we encounter repeatedly: improper roof flashing at valleys and penetrations, HVAC ductwork that is undersized or not fully connected, missing attic insulation in sections that look fine from the access hatch, and grading that directs water toward the foundation rather than away from it. Investment buyers purchasing here remotely are especially vulnerable to these issues because they often cannot attend a walk-through. Our pre-closing inspection report gives them the documentation they need to hold the builder accountable.
Square Inspections is InterNACHI-certified and built for the Four Corners new construction market. Same-day digital reports with color photos and severity ratings are standard on every inspection, not an add-on. Thermal imaging is included on full home inspections at no extra charge, which is how we catch ductwork leakage and insulation voids that a standard visual inspection misses in newly built homes. With 115 five-star Google reviews, we are a proven resource in this corridor. Call 407-205-7222, Monday through Saturday, 8am to 8pm.

Polk County Context
Why This Matters in Four Corners
Central Florida's Construction Pace Creates Gaps
The Orlando metro's rapid housing development drives demand for subcontractors faster than quality control keeps up. Rushed framing, roofing, and HVAC installation produce defects that independent inspectors routinely document, even in brand-new homes.
Defects Hide Behind Brand-New Finishes
Fresh paint and new fixtures conceal installation errors. Improper attic ventilation, reversed electrical wiring, HVAC connection failures, and missing insulation are invisible on a showing and critical to find before closing.
Two Inspection Windows, Both Time-Limited
Final walkthrough and 11-month warranty are your two opportunities to protect yourself in a new construction home. Each window closes permanently, once you close, and once your warranty expires.
Step by Step
Our Inspection Process
Foundation & Slab Assessment
Slab condition, visible cracking patterns, control joints, perimeter drainage, and lot grading are evaluated. Improper grading is one of the most common and consequential new construction defects in Florida.
Roof System & Attic
Roof covering fastening patterns, flashing, ridge and soffit ventilation, attic insulation coverage, and structural framing are inspected. Inadequate attic ventilation is the single most common finding in Central Florida new construction.
HVAC, Electrical & Plumbing
All mechanical systems are tested for proper installation, code compliance, and performance. Every outlet is tested, every fixture is operated, and every HVAC component is evaluated for proper function.
Interior Finish & Cosmetic Review
Drywall quality, paint, flooring, cabinetry, trim, windows, and doors are reviewed for defects covered under builder warranty. These items are often excluded from builder walkthroughs but are legitimate warranty claims.
Builder-Ready Report & Punch List
Your same-day digital report is organized for builder submission, with findings by system and photos and references that builders and warranty administrators respond to and act on.
Everything Included: One Visit
Your inspection includes thermal imaging, a 4-point insurance inspection, and a wind mitigation report, everything your insurance company needs, completed in a single visit. Most inspectors charge $200+ extra for these.

FAQ
New Construction Inspection in Four Corners: Common Questions
What builder defects does Square Inspections most commonly find in new Four Corners homes?
In Four Corners new construction, our most frequent findings include incomplete flashing at roof transitions, HVAC ductwork that is disconnected or improperly supported in the attic, grading that allows water to pool against the foundation, and missing or compressed insulation in attic spaces. These are not minor cosmetic issues, they affect performance, durability, and future insurance renewability. Identifying them before you close gives you leverage to require corrections.
Can Square Inspections work with out-of-state investors purchasing new construction in the Four Corners area?
Absolutely. A significant portion of our Four Corners clients are investment buyers who are not local. We schedule the inspection, complete the walk-through, and deliver a same-day report with photos and severity ratings that tells you exactly what the builder needs to address. We are also available in Spanish, Portuguese, and Chinese for clients more comfortable communicating in those languages. Call 407-205-7222 or book online.
When should I have a new construction home inspected?
We recommend two inspections: a final walkthrough before closing, and an 11-month warranty inspection before your builder warranty expires. Each catches different defects, and each window closes permanently, and missing either one leaves you without recourse.
Will the builder allow an independent inspector on-site?
Yes. You have the right to hire an independent inspector at any stage of construction. Some builders may require advance notice for scheduling access. This is standard practice and should not be declined.
Are new homes really defective?
Consistently. Studies show new construction homes in Florida average over 36 defects per inspection. Builder timelines are tight, subcontractor quality varies significantly, and builder quality control inspections are not the same as an independent professional inspection.
What are the most common defects in new Central Florida homes?
Inadequate attic ventilation, improper lot grading, missing or thin insulation, HVAC configuration errors, reversed plumbing vents, improperly secured roof decking, and window installation defects. All typically covered under the builder's 1-year warranty.
How long does a new construction inspection take?
A final walkthrough inspection typically takes 2.5–4 hours depending on the size and complexity of the home. You'll receive a same-day digital report.
Do I still need an 11-month inspection if I had a final walkthrough inspection?
Yes. The final walkthrough captures the home at a single moment before closing. The 11-month inspection catches defects that developed or worsened during your first year of occupancy, often including HVAC performance issues, settlement, and moisture problems that take time to appear.
