We just closed June 1st on a new home. Within 7 days or so, submit a punch list of the cosmetic issues or other fixes that are needed. The builder will give you the punch list form when you do the walk thru with them (the same day you close). We included dead sod on the list and it was promptly replaced.
Right away, schedule your walk thru appointments with your HVAC, irrigation, and pest prevention installers. The builder will give you names/phone numbers. While they are there, they will note issues and get them fixed for you too. I think the installers want to fix things so it doesn't end up on the builder punch list!
Throughout the first year, look for any issues that need fixing and call the Warranty Office for resolution.
As stated in other posts, hire a Home Inspector to look for issues before your 1 year is up.
