With only a small amount of effort, the exterior of homes in new construction can be properly sealed to prevent future long term problems with moisture in the exterior walls. Moisture not only caused damage to the wood components, but also attracts insects, including termites!! I strongly recommend that a buyer do the research or hire someone to inspect their home while it is under construction. It doesn't matter how good the builder says his house is if he doesn't have the superintendents or quality control measures in-place to ensure compliance with both code regulations and industry standards. A typical municipal inspector may take 5-10 minutes to perform an inspection and should never be used as a builders quality control; they simply do not have the time to look at all aspects of the construction process. A qualified home inspector with experience in new construction will typically take 1-2 hours to perform a pre-drywall inspection to ensure that the home is constructed correctly and to protect the purchaser's interest.
