Pre-Delivery Inspection

So we're only two days away now. Our Pre-Delivery Inspection happened yesterday. If you don't know what that is...

The PDI represents one of your first opportunities to view your new home in its completed state. Your builder’s representative will guide you or your designate* through a comprehensive inspection and show you how to operate the systems in your home, such as ventilation, plumbing and heating.

During the PDI, you or your designate should identify any damaged, incomplete or missing items as well as anything which is not operating properly. You should ensure that your builder’s representative records these conditions on the PDI Form to verify that they existed prior to occupancy. If you or your designate cannot assess something because it has not yet been installed or completed, have this noted on the PDI Form as well.

At the PDI you or your designate will be asked to sign the PDI Form, a Certificate of Completion and Possession (CCP), as well as Confirmation of Receipt of the Homeowner Information Package form (if you have not already signed this form). The CCP also marks the official date of possession, which establishes when your warranty coverage begins.

So it went well. The house is almost complete, just a few touch ups here and there. The builder's representative, Mark, was a really good guy. Honestly, we've had such a pleasant experience with Mattamy thus far, well, besides our delay, but in essence, everything has gone really well. I'll blog more about that later...

Today we'll be signing the papers at the lawyers. I'm usually very excited. But we're soooo sick right now. It's my birthday tomorrow, and we're pretty much stuck at home. On top of that, we aren't even done packing. Sigh. Such an anti-climactic week.
