Do you perform the inspections yourselves?

ADVOCATE coordinates a national network of independent, qualified inspectors and specialists, then interprets the findings for you. You get third-party expertise plus experienced construction advisors reading the results in context.

When should milestone inspections be scheduled?

The most valuable moments are pre-slab, framing, pre-drywall, and pre-completion. Each one is a point where mistakes are still easy and inexpensive to correct. We coordinate the calendar with your builder.

Can inspection reports be used in a dispute?

Yes. Our dispute-related inspections are evidence-based, documented with photos and written findings, and structured to support warranty claims, contract disagreements, mediation, or litigation.

What is Matterport 3D imaging and why does it matter?

A navigable, high-resolution digital walkthrough captured at key phases (typically pre-drywall and final completion). It becomes a permanent record of what is inside the walls and how the home was built.

Do you serve clients outside metro Phoenix?

Our core market is Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Phoenix, and surrounding Arizona communities. We take select projects elsewhere when the scope and situation fit our model.

→Framing — load-bearing elements and roof structure
→Pre-Drywall — electrical, HVAC, and plumbing before concealment
→Pre-Completion — final pass to catch visible defects
→Deficiency Review — incomplete or substandard work

Specialty add-ons: Radon Study and Sewer Scope, as needed.

02 / Dispute-Related Inspections

Clarify responsibility. Resolve conflicts.

Objective, third-party inspections that give homeowners, contractors, and legal teams the facts they need to resolve a construction dispute professionally.

Used for

→Contract disagreements
→Warranty enforcement
→Defect documentation

Inspection types

→Pre-Completion — captures issues before final handoff

03 / 3D Imaging & Documentation

Capture the build. Create a permanent record.

Matterport 3D imaging captures key phases of construction as a navigable, high-resolution digital archive of what sits behind the walls and how the home came together.

The Owner's Representative role

One independent voice interpreting every inspection for you.

An inspection report is only as useful as the advocate reading it. ADVOCATE coordinates the specialists, reviews the findings, and translates the results into decisions the homeowner can act on without guessing or getting spun by the trades.

We have coordinated inspections and construction oversight on custom, luxury, and architecturally complex homes across Arizona for more than two decades. The earlier the eyes are on the work, the smaller the eventual fix.
