Builder & New-Construction Watch-Outs
- HVAC sizing. Production builders default to the smallest unit that meets code. In Eastern NC humidity, ask for a Manual J load calculation and right-size at contract.
- Lot premiums. Cul-de-sac, pond, and end-lot premiums run $5K–$25K. Negotiable, especially end-of-quarter.
- Builder lender. Closing-cost credits ($5K–$15K) come with a rate that may not be the best available. Always get a competing quote before locking.
- Walkthrough timing. Schedule your independent inspector before the pre-drywall walkthrough. Items in the wall are hard to fix once closed.
- Warranty fine print. 1-year workmanship, 2-year systems, 10-year structural is industry standard. Confirm in writing what's covered and what's not.
