PDI
From BuildingHomes.ca
A Pre-Delivery Inspection can happen anytime before your house closes up to the day of closing.
The PDI is scheduled on a mutually agreeable day between you and your builder.
During your PDI you and one of the builders inspectors will walk around the house and make a list of all the deficiencies that are immediately visible. This includes anything incomplete, damaged, or incorrect.
At the end you will sign the list and that is submitted to Tarion (Ontario) as the PDI list.
Once you take posession of the house, you then have 30 days to come up with a list of things that you did not find on the PDI. That too is submitted to Tarion and the builder.
Just be sure you get it in within 30 days, as Tarion may not accept it on day 31.
If you have it available, take a video camera with you during the PDI. Even a digital camera to visually document anything of concern.
You can bring a home inpsector with you during your PDI. It is not recommended that you bring children as they can a tremendous distraction for yourself and the builder.
