This assumes that the builder and their subtrades have all done quality work - an assumption I wouldn't make in Calgary.
Then again, that assumes you can find a home inspector that can actually find something wrong with a place. I've paid for 3 in the last few years on the premise that they know how to spot problems, but I've got a stack of invoices that say otherwise....
