A new construction walkthrough checklist tests the house against the spec and puts open items on the builder's punch list before you sign.
Buyers walk a staged house, sign a clean sheet, and discover the leak and the missing option after the keys.
Why This Happens
The house smells like new paint and everyone is friendly. Testing toilets feels ungrateful, so the punch list stays empty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a closing-day checklist?
No. This new construction walkthrough checklist is the builder orientation and punch list. The wire and the closing table are a different list.
What if they say it is normal?
Normal still gets written down if it does not match the spec. Photos and their form matter.
Should I bring an inspector?
If your contract allows a private inspection, schedule it. This list is the walk you do either way.
Can I refuse to sign?
Ask what the signature means and add open items to the punch list first. Do not sign a blank acceptance you do not understand.
