New Home Construction Monitoring ~
Get The Best-Built House On The Block!

New Home Construction Monitoring Is Usually Builder-Paid

New home construction monitoring is necessary because new homes are not built perfectly. Do you want the best-built house on the block? With me as your Realtor, you will have it. I am far more than a 30+ year Realtor; I am a Housing Protector. As your house is built, I provide new home construction monitoring. Depending on the neighborhood, my services will probably not cost you a penny and are invaluable.

Most new home builders in the Las Vegas Valley pay realtors to provide you with buyer representation. Not one single builder employee or subcontractor works for you. Everyone is on the new home builder’s payroll, so no one is looking out for you- except me if you put us on your team.

Our commission is built into the price already, so if you don’t have representation, you won’t get any money back. You should definitely choose the best new construction home Realtor in Las Vegas to be on your team. I am someone who is much more than a chatty chauffeur or who holds your hand at the design center… I protect you by looking for issues every week.

Prior to joining my wife/partner, Terri, who sells new houses, I was a Nevada Consulting Building Engineer. (PE, CE) I advised builders on how to build their houses and resolve their problems. I now use my knowledge and skills to protect our new home-buying clients from buying a lemon.

New Home Construction Monitoring In Southern Nevada

Protect Your Investment with Effective Construction Oversight

Building a new home is an exciting milestone – but it’s also one of the largest investments you’ll ever make. Whether you’re buying in Las Vegas, Henderson, or North Las Vegas in the Silver State, we ensure your new home’s construction has no red flags.

New homes are pretty but have flaws – seen and unseen. That’s where new home construction monitoring in Southern Nevada comes in. Kurt ensures code compliance as your representative.

He photographs and identifies potential errors while they are still correctable. His construction monitoring provides you with peace of mind throughout your home-building journey. Your home will be the best built house on the block!

✔ What Is New Home Construction Monitoring?

New home construction monitoring is a systematic process of inspecting, documenting, and verifying. We make sure that your new home is being built according to the approved plans, specifications, and quality standards, with your chosen options installed correctly.

Whether you’re a local resident or an out-of-state buyer building remotely, construction monitoring ensures that your home is built right—every step of the way.

Access to the interior of the house, as finishing touches are added, is difficult. We gift clients with a Building Standards Home Inspection at closing. He measures everything, tests systems, goes in the attic, and drones the second story and roof.

It’s so important to know all the construction flaws that Kurt and Terri give you this inspection. Repairs need to be done during the warranty period to save you thousands of dollars down the road.

💡 Why You Need Construction Monitoring in Nevada

Nevada’s rapid growth, especially in Las Vegas, Henderson, and North Las Vegas, has driven a surge in new home construction. With around 200 neighborhoods built simultaneously for years, it’s easy for quality control issues to slip through the Building Superintendent’s fingers. Kurt’s construction monitoring encourages the Superintendent to be more dilligent knowing that someone is looking every week, plus:

Ensure contractors are following approved plans and option installation
Identify missing elements, defects, delays, or shortcuts early
Confirm materials and systems meet safety and building codes
Avoid costly rework or surprises during final walkthroughs
Protect your investment, even if you’re out of town

FAQ's About New Home Construction Monitoring

🏗️ What Is Construction Monitoring?

In Las Vegas, over 90% of builders pay for your buyer representation without changing the price the homebuyer pays. As a 30+ year Realtor and former NV structural engineer, I used to tell builders how to build their homes and fix mistakes. What I do now is represent and protect my clients, assuring that they get the best built house on the block. I go to the homesite every 7-10 days, look closely at the construction, send pictures and talk to you about progress and what I see.

When there are issues, I talk to the building superintendent. I do the framing walk with you or for you before drywall is installed. At closing we gift you a 4-hour Building Standards Home Inspection. It’s important to know what’s wrong while the warranty is valid. We don’t know of another Realtor in Las Vegas that protects their clients and their investment. In new homes we point out potential red flags and issues. Schedule an appointment with us today at 702-750-7599. We need to visit new homes together the first time and never register with a builder.

💵 Construction Monitor Pricing

When the builder pays us, I do free construction monitoring as part of my services. I have also done construction monitoring with the client paying me. Know that even custom home builders pay us a finder’s fee. Let’s talk. You need to be protected, or you get problems like a hot water line running to your toilet, missing clips and brackets, bad wood and reversed Low E window glass. Insulation is always an issue, so your home is infrared gunned at closing. We work for you every step of the way. Legally, no one on the builder’s team works for you.

📉 Why Is Las Vegas Seeing A Decline In Construction Jobs Despite Ongoing Projects?

Many new home builders have used the same sub-contractors for years. New home sales in the Las Vegas Valley are considerably down compared to 2 years ago. Builders are paying more for products used in new homes so that cost is passed on to the home buyer. Often resale properties have better locations, lower property taxes, and lower prices. Many resale homes look brand new, so we suggest everyone considers at least comparing the two.

⚖️ Is It Cheaper To Build Or Buy A New Construction Home?

A custom home will always cost more because your sub-contractors aren’t giving a quantity discount. Land, plans, and engineering is expensive. There are several builders with existing plans that build on their lots for less. They are long-term, stable, construction companies. Other high-end builders allow extensive customization – like $60K floating staircases and backyards landscaped concurrently. Talk to us more and I can show you examples.

🏘️ New Homes In Las Vegas Under $500k

When looking for new homes in Las Vegas under $500K, there are plenty of options in all parts of town. Townhomes with yards are another popular choice. Due to the market slow down, every builder seems to give lower than normal interest rates and more incentives. Del Webb overed 65% off options and upgrades a few months back. There are also “Home of the Week” specials.

We get multiple weekly incentive homes from most builders. Send us a contact request, tell us what you’re looking for and we will tell you what’s out there. 90% of Las Vegas builders pay me to represent you. You need to visit their models with me on your first visit in most cases. Schedule a time with me at 702-750-7599.

🏠 New Construction Homes North Las Vegas

North Las Vegas new construction homes are the best value in town. With new master-planned communities and lots of land to build, builders are offering more. It’s important to have a new home specialist on your team. Each builder is different and it’s not always obvious. For example: DR Horton offers elegant 10 foot ceilings as a standard feature. Builders pay me to represent you so “let me do the homework for you.” We have pages for every Las Vegas national builder. Check it out and call us!

What Is Construction Monitoring?

As your house is built, I go there every 7-10 days, take pictures, and look for issues. I examine undergrounds and what’s inside the walls before drywall is hung. After sending pictures, we discuss progress each week, and I explain each stage and the progress of construction. When there are issues, I email the Superintendent photos and speak with them on your behalf, or you can.

We verify all the options and upgrades you ordered are installed in the right place before the framing walk-through, and before drywall is started. I continue to follow the interior work and exterior progress. I am your eyes, ensuring that things look correct. Work with us and get a great house and peace of mind.

Once your home is complete, we provide a Building Standards Home Inspection. We want you to identify flaws while the warranty is still valid. Get the best-built house on the block with us protecting you. Read our Luxury Home Buyers Guide page with an actual building standards home inspection report and issues. Some houses are great, others are not.

Do Not Lose Your Representation Benefit

Builders do not want you to have a realtor giving you information. They also make more money if we are not involved. That’s why having them pay a realtor on your behalf is not a publicly advertised benefit. They do have a few hoops to jump through, but once that’s done, we all work together well.

The requirements for you to have builder-paid buyer representation:

Take Us With You To Look At Homes The First Time. You can go back to a sub-division anytime after that without us.
Don’t Register On Their Website. If you request more information from a builder, call me first- I’ll register you, and you’re covered.
See our page on New Construction Homes for more in-depth explanations.

Why You Want Our Services

Have you ever seen a house with bowed walls and crooked doorways? Tiles that go out from the front door at an angle? How about eave fascia boards that don’t connect? Those problems are caused during construction.

I once went to sell a house, and when I walked by the grandfather clock upstairs, it leaned towards me. The owner brushed it off, saying it had always done that. That’s a safety issue that is happening because something was wrong. In this case, the builder used sub-standard lumber.

Another house we listed had the underside of the staircase covered with drywall and paint showing in the kitchen. Five years later, when they were selling, I thought it looked strange. The problem was that it was above the kitchen cupboards, and the builder had left off the cupboards to the ceiling facade.

These are items that should be identified while the warranty is still in effect. For both of these situations, I was able to contact the builder, and the items were fixed. The above-mentioned floor problem house had the entire second floor wood subflooring replaced, which required all-new floor coverings for the entire second story.

Those are examples of how I am a unique Realtor. My construction expertise is utilized by both our sellers and buyers. The most frequent flaw our Building Standards Inspections find is a lack of insulation. Before the insulation company leaves the warehouse, they print a certificate to give to the Building Department. No one inspects their work, and they know it.
