Pre-Delivery Inspection

When your home is just about complete, you will attend a Pre-Delivery Inspection, which has several purposes. The first is to demonstrate your home’s systems (furnace, A/C, hot water tank, etc.) and discuss their maintenance. Equally important, we want to confirm that we are delivering your new home at the level of quality described in our documents and with all your selections correctly installed. We also need to document any last-minute work that needs to be completed.

Your Pre-Delivery Inspection typically takes place a few weeks or a few days before your closing date. Tartan Homes will arrange this appointment with you. Note: The Pre-Delivery Inspection is a requirement of the warranty program provided by Tarion.

A Tartan representative will touch base to review your PDI list and confirm with you what is outstanding. Anything outstanding should be put on the initial list. What’s the initial list? During your first 40 days in your new home Tarion recommends you keep a list of any additional warrantable deficiencies you identify that might have been missed during your pre- delivery inspection. Damages that are the result of normal wear and tear are not covered by Tarion warranty after possession, it’s up to you to submit your initial list to Tarion warranty corporation using its online submission process at Tarion.com. Tarion will forward the list to Tartan. In addition to this it’s a good idea for you to submit the list directly to Tartan via email. If you submit your list to Tartan within the first 40 days, Tartan is obligated to address any deficiencies in a timely manner. A few days after you move in a Tartan after sales service rep will call you to welcome you to your new home and to answer questions. Once Tartan has your initial list, a service rep will contact you to review the list and schedule the work.
