QA Inspection The main focus of a QA inspection is to ensure everything is installed, all parts and pieces are functioning properly, and the home is complete according to our Century standards of quality. Be the eyes of your Homeowner! How would you want the home to look if you were buying it? Each team will have a slightly different way they like to do a QA walkthrough. Listed below are some tips that will create the most effective inspection: • Walk the entire interior of the home before the exterior to maintain the cleanliness of the home. Remove shoes and/or wear booties when entering the home. • Walk in one direction. This keeps you on track to ensure every room has been inspected. • Check windows, doors, and garage doors for proper function.

• Ensure all hardware and weather-stripping is installed. • Check walls for damage or inconsistencies in texture.

• Check paint on walls, baseboard, and trim for proper coating and appropriate cut lines. • Check the HVAC system is working properly, both heat and A/C, where applicable. • Check all light fixtures throughout home to ensure bulbs are installed and all fixtures are working. • Check all plumbing fixtures throughout home to ensure:

- All tub/sink stoppers work - All tub/sink overflows work - No leaks - Hot and cold work at each water location

• Inspect laundry hook ups/drain. • Check all appliances to ensure they are plugged in and working. • Check cabinetry for quality and proper installation, no cracks or chips. • Collect all manufacturer paperwork and leave in one drawer in the kitchen. • Inspect flatwork and driveways. • Check exterior of home for quality (siding, stucco, brick, etc.). • Check irrigation system, if applicable. • Check flooring for paint, scratches or defects. • Make sure there is no dirt or dust on window sills, countertops, in drawers, or in cabinetry.
