New Construction Walkthrough Checklist

80+ items across 8 rooms. Print it, bring it to your final walkthrough, and catch every issue before you close.

Why You Need a Walkthrough Checklist

Your final walkthrough is your last chance to catch problems before the builder hands you the keys. Once you close, getting things fixed becomes a warranty claim instead of a punch-list item. Most buyers walk through their new home excited and distracted — they miss things. A structured checklist keeps you focused.

This checklist was built from Barrett's experience walking through hundreds of new-construction homes across Tampa Bay. Every item is something he has actually seen missed by buyers who did not have a list.
