PDI for New Condos

[Seesus]

Our builder is saying that they have hired a independent company to conduct PDI along with Purchasers. Mine is scheduled to happen sometime in September this year. Being an absolute rookie at this - of-course i have stored a checklist from Tarion's site but i am wondering that would it be reasonable to think PDI conducted by the builder's contracted company could be biased or is it a good thing that its contracted to the folks who do this for a living so i wont be dealing with a customer service rep instead.

My intent is only to ensure that being new to this, i dont want to miss out on any fine details. What would be the best way to deal with this situation. Is it worth it to hire a home inspector for a PDI for new condo and could the builder have any issues with that ? My builder is Monarch so i dont expect them to cut too many corners given their reputation but what if i miss some items in PDI ?

Any experience that any one can share would be great.

Thank You

Hiring your own condo inspector is pretty cheap insurance. Ultimately it's your responsibility to find and report problems.

Don't forget after you move in you also have your 30-day form to report other defects.
