Our exclusive service provides the new home builder with regular updates of the construction of their new home. Designed specifically for the out-of-town future resident, each week we make multiple trips to your new home under construction, take picture and video footage of the current state of construction*.
Are you having something special done in your new home? Custom cabinetry and closets, a special craft room, a pool and spa, specialized electrical or low voltage systems, or perhaps the man-cave you've been needing all these years? Let us know and we'll track it and make sure to give these areas a special level of attention.
Each package includes regular observations and inspections by Don Wiley, a retired Construction Project Manager who spent 20 years on construciton sites and is well versed in the means, methods, and quality standards of all the construciton trades. In the rare case that something doesn't look right or doesn't match the permitted plans, you'll be notified so you can contact your home construciton manager of the possible problem. Please note, Gold Wingnut Productions cannot and will not provide any direction or instruction to any trade or other entity concerning the construction of your home, we are only acting as your eyes on the site and will provide you with feedback when something does not appear correct. Additinally, if you have questions about the build process and what is happening on the construction site, please fell free to contact us and we can explain most any item or work in progress.
If you see something in your update video or photos that doesn't look right or you want to see more of, just contact us and we'll make sure we give these areas additional attention. It's much better for both you and the builder to catch an overlooked, missing, or impropertly installed item early in construction than at your final walk-through.
Because of the level of attention and time required to bring you this service there are a limited number of these packages available. Even if you know your construction won't start for several weeks or even months from now, reserve your package so you don't miss out.
