Expect a focused, classroom-style presentation that introduces the unique challenges of inspecting newly built homes, with input from Meritage Homes staff to illustrate real-world builder practices and construction sequencing. This session emphasizes practical learning so attendees can leave with immediate, usable strategies for new construction inspections and client advising. During the class you will learn to identify common and subtle issues that can be present even in brand-new houses, how building systems and finishes should perform, and where defects are most likely to show up after occupancy. Instructors will explain how a certificate of occupancy differs from a cosmetic or structural warranty, what to include on inspection checklists specific to new construction, and which questions to ask builders and trade contractors to clarify responsibility for corrections. Expect examples, photos, and diagnostic tips to make observations more actionable during walkthroughs. The event also focuses on client communication and post-inspection follow-up so you can set realistic expectations before closing rather than managing surprises afterward. Attendees will gain guidance on documenting findings, recommending appropriate remedies, and negotiating punch lists with builders and buyers. Beyond technical content, this is an opportunity to network with peers and Meritage Homes representatives, earn CE credit, and leave with checklists and talking points that improve your value to clients working with newly built properties. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/smyrna/home-inspections-on-new-construction-hosted-by-meritage-homes/100001993025114769 - **Event Categories**: workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Smyrna - **state**: TN - **country**: United States - **location**: 5000 Greentree Dr - **lat**: 35.9475112 - **long**: -86.5586919 - **full address**: 5000 Greentree Dr, 5000 Greentree Drive, Smyrna, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Home Inspections on New Construction, Hosted by Meritage Homes - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/97468a0d57600279d225ba83d06b13789b923222907844b84fa5eeabe3e452b9-rimg-w1200-h600-dc171818-gmir.jpg?v=1783102147 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Home Inspections on New Construction, Hosted by Meritage Homes being held? - **A:** Home Inspections on New Construction, Hosted by Meritage Homes takes place on Wed, 08 Jul, 2026 at 11:00 am to Wed, 08 Jul, 2026 at 01:00 pm at 5000 Greentree Dr, 5000 Greentree Drive, Smyrna, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Home Inspections on New Construction, Hosted by Meritage Homes? - **A:** Home Inspections on New Construction, Hosted by Meritage Homes is organized by Downtown Nashville Trade Hub. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
