New construction inspection in Detroit: what to expect
A new construction inspection in Detroit and its suburbs is an independent check of a newly built home before you close. Municipal inspectors confirm code minimums at set stages, but they work for the city, not for you, and they do not produce a punch list of workmanship issues.
Buyers in growing areas such as Macomb Township, Shelby Township, Novi, South Lyon and Canton often book phase inspections: a foundation or pre-pour visit, a pre-drywall visit when framing, wiring, plumbing and ductwork are still visible, and a final inspection before the walkthrough. In Detroit, infill builds and gut rehabs benefit from the same approach.
Check your purchase agreement first, because some builders limit access or require notice. After move-in, schedule an 11 month warranty inspection before coverage ends, and compare home inspectors in Metro Detroit for each phase.
What a proper job includes
- Foundation and footing observation before backfill or pour when scheduled
- Pre-drywall review of framing, fastening, fire blocking and penetrations
- Visible rough plumbing, electrical and duct runs
- Window and door flashing and housewrap details
- Final inspection of finishes, systems, grading and drainage
- A photo report you can hand to the builder as a punch list
What drives the price
- Number of phase visits
- Square footage and number of stories
- Re-inspection to confirm builder corrections
- Add-ons such as radon or thermal imaging
- Scheduling around the builder's timeline
- Travel to outlying developments

Licensing and standards in Michigan
New homes are built under a building permit with inspections by the local enforcing agency (BSEED in Detroit), which issues approval for occupancy at the end. A private inspection does not replace those inspections. Builders of new homes must hold a Michigan Residential Builder license, which you can check on the LARA lookup.
Michigan does not currently issue a state license for home inspectors, so credentials come from training and membership in a national association such as ASHI or InterNACHI, which publish standards of practice.
