How to Build a Home – First Inspection

We’re having a home built by D.R. Horton. I’ve been posting information on the steps to building a home, along with pictures and information I’m gathering along the way. Here’s the latest and greatest: I learned, as noted in my last post, that before they, the builder, can pour the concrete for the foundation, they must pass the first inspection. So, I went by the home site the day after the inspection was to take place. Conveniently, the inspection package was on site, in a plastic bag, crudely attached to a two x four. So, I took it upon myself to snap some photos of the results. As you can see, the construction passed inspection.

The back side shows some of the items they look for during inspection.

As a result, over the weekend, they poured the foundation and began framing the house. I’ll have some pics of that up soon. Check out the next post in this series here.
