No matter what we decide to do we’ll still get the home inspection before the first year is up.
Thanks

We are on our 2nd home - just move to a 4 year old home in July. We insisted that the inspector (that we paid for) take a look at the irrigation system as we had to spend quite a bit getting the irrigation system on our first "older" home working properly. With that said, the inspector did a poor job saying all ok. After moving, we found that 15 heads didn't even pop up because they had become overgrown with grass and we had to pay to have someone come in and get everything working. We did get money back due to the poor inspection. My reason for saying all this is that I suspect most things will be ok on a new build but the irrigation systems are a real pain to kept working properly.
