What Is A Pre-Construction Inspection?
A pre-construction inspection is a critical review of your building plan to ensure that your drawings are structurally sound, that every detail is accounted for, and that every aspect of your design and build will meet the Ontario Building Code. This inspection will identify potential problems before construction begins, which will save you money and time, and will help to ensure a quality build.
If you need design services for your new home, addition or renovation, we can provide those services.
At Keller Engineering Engineers, we provide pre-construction inspections by professional engineers who are licensed by one of the 12 licensing bodies in Canada and adhere to the highest legal and ethical standards.

Once your construction has begun, we can make arrangements to conduct progress inspections and a pre-delivery inspection to ensure that your new home has been constructed as per the design, specifications, and is free from defects.
Progress Inspections
A progress inspection includes regular inspections during the course of the construction of your new home. Inspections, set at predetermined stages of construction, are the best way to ensure quality throughout the construction process and to make sure that nothing is missed.
Pre-Delivery Inspections
A pre-delivery inspection is a critical review of your newly completed build to make note of anything in your new home that is damaged, missing, incomplete, or that cannot be inspected at the time.
Our inspection service will present you with a list of defects to be corrected by the builder prior to occupancy or ownership. If any items are not resolved by the time you take possession of your new home, you may report them to Tarion using the applicable warranty form.
