If defects in a new home are not found before it is purchased from the builder, they become the problem of the new owner after they move in or when they go to sell and the defects are discovered during the inspection period.
This inspection for a purchaser of a new construction home saved them years of high utility bills and uncomfortable conditions in the home because only one of the two attics had been insulated. More to the point the builder addressed the issue before they bought the house!
With all the inspections the county building inspector is supposed to do, the energy star rating this house received (which could not have been correct), the builders own inspectors performed, you got to ask how they had forgot to insulate the attic!
