The exact intake your new construction inspection leads complete
This is the real 5-question guided intake for New Construction Inspection — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified new construction inspection lead should tell you
An inspection of a home still under construction or newly finished, used to catch framing, drywall, or finishing defects before the buyer closes or the builder's warranty period ends.
- Role Regarding This New
- Stage Construction In
- Have Access Schedule Inspection

- Have Builder Plans, Permits,
The questions your team needs answered
Every new construction inspection intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What is your role regarding this new construction property? | The role answer separates buyers, investors, and builder self-referrals so you know whose deal you're actually being asked to inspect. |
| What stage is the construction currently in? | Construction stage tells you whether the site is even ready for a walkthrough, or if scheduling now would be premature. |
| Do you have access to schedule an inspection at the property? | Confirmed access is weighted heavily because a lead with no way to get onto the site can't be scheduled yet, regardless of how strong the buyer signal is. |
| Have you noticed any visible issues such as cracks, leaks, or unfinished work? | A leak or water-stain answer is the one condition that triggers the urgency signal, since active moisture on new construction warrants faster attention than cosmetic or unfinished-work notes. |
| Do you have builder plans, permits, or documents available for reference? | Separates real opportunities from leads that aren’t a fit yet. |

Built for new construction inspection workflows
| Cliont capability | New Construction Inspection application |
|---|---|
| Weighted scoring | Buyer, investor, and site-access answers are weighted so a ready-to-schedule investor outranks a builder inquiry with unconfirmed access. |
| Urgency flag | A 'leaks or water stains' answer on the visible-issues checklist surfaces the lead as urgent, ahead of leads reporting no issues. |
| Document capture | Builder plans and permits are attached to the lead record when available, so your inspector knows what reference material already exists before the visit. |
| CRM routing | Leads scored by role, construction stage, and confirmed access post straight to your CRM instead of sitting in a shared inbox. |
Common new construction inspection lead scenarios
Pre-drywall buyer spots water stains
A buyer touring the property during framing notices leaks or water stains, which triggers the urgency signal and surfaces the lead above routine pre-closing walkthroughs.
Investor closing on spec home
An investor with confirmed site access and a near-complete build scores as a top lead, so it's prioritized over lower-weighted builder or 'other' role submissions.
Builder requests warranty inspection
A builder-side contact submits during the pre-closing stage but hasn't confirmed access to schedule, which the intake flags for follow-up before you commit a Saturday to it.
Post-closing buyer, no builder plans
A buyer who already closed on a fully complete home can't provide builder plans or permits, so the intake still scores them on role and access while noting the missing documentation.

New Construction Inspection lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake score a new construction lead differently from a resale inspection?
It asks construction stage, visible defects, and site access instead of resale-specific questions, and a leak or water-stain answer pushes the lead ahead of ones with no issues noted.
Can the intake tell if a property is too early to schedule?
Yes — the construction-stage question distinguishes pre-drywall framing from near-complete or already-closed builds, so you can see immediately whether a site is ready for a showing.
What happens if a builder or developer submits the form instead of a buyer?
The role question carries its own weight for buyer, builder/developer, investor, and other, so builder-submitted leads are scored and routed differently rather than dropped.
Does the buyer need builder plans or permits to submit the form?
No, that question is optional — a 'no' doesn't disqualify the lead, it just tells your team what documentation to request before the visit.
What if the buyer hasn't confirmed access to the property yet?
Access to schedule is a weighted yes/no question, so a 'no' answer lowers the score and can be used to hold the lead until access is confirmed, avoiding a wasted trip.
How is this different from the Pre-Listing Inspection intake?
Pre-Listing Inspection intake is built around sellers preparing to list a resale home, while this intake is built around buyers, builders, and investors evaluating a home still under or just finished construction.
