Protecting Your Rebuild
Through Technical Site Observations & Documentation
Familiar nationally as New Construction Inspections, Phase-Based Inspections, and most commonly Pre-Drywall Inspections.
This work requires experience and credentials rooted in construction itself—not existing homes.
In California, we call that specialty : Construction Observations.
The Serotiny process provides independent, phase-aligned observations and documentation throughout construction: reviewing deeper during the build, not just after.
• Plan-to-Field selective review and documented reporting of observed conditions.
• 360º visual and measurable documentation of concealed conditions prior to enclosure; creating a permanent record of what's behind walls before its covered.
Observations supported by 30+ years in construction.
CSLB, ICC, and InterNachi Founder credentials.

Plan-to-Field Select Observations
LiDAR Enhanced 360º Capture - Measurement Tools
No Subscription Required - You Own the Record
An independent, non-adversarial layer of accountability—intended to support all parties while helping reduce rework exposure, document conditions of workmanship, and create a durable evidentiary record for potential warranty considerations.
Fortifying your investment.

The Capacity Gap
Surging demand for custom builds
Elite craftsmanship is a finite resource
Rushed execution compromises results
Exponential increase of systems, materials, and mfr specifications.
Execution was one battle,
long term performace is another
Warranty and Repairs Chaos
Essential code checks are only the minimum. In a recovery surge, 15-minute visits cannot scale to catch thousands of details across hundreds of concurrent builds.
AHJ Ispections are Minimums

Common Questions
Is this the same as a home inspection?
No. While there are areas of overlap, this service is focused on observation and documentation during construction—not post-construction inspection or code enforcement. Home Inspectors typically inspect finished homes for real estate transactions.
Does this create conflict with my builder or project team?
No. The role is independent and non-adversarial—intended to support the project team, not direct or interfere with their work.
When does this take place?
At defined, critical phases during construction, or as needed based on project conditions and requests.
What is the value of this service?
Creating a clear, independent record of construction conditions can help reduce rework exposure and support long-term warranty clarity.
Who hires this service?
Primarily homeowners, though builders, investors, and project teams may also engage services for documentation and project clarity.
