Buying a new home or condo is an exciting milestone, and your Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) is a critical step in the process. Here’s everything you need to know to make the most of your PDI and ensure your new home is everything you’ve dreamed of.

What Is a PDI?

The Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) is a comprehensive walkthrough of your new home or condo led by your builder. It’s your first opportunity to inspect the completed unit before officially taking possession.

During this walkthrough, you'll:

• Identify Issues: Look for damages, incomplete or missing items, and anything not working properly.
• Assess Accessibility: Note any areas that are inaccessible or obscured.
• Document Findings: Use the provided PDI Form to record any concerns, as this is essential for warranty purposes.

Key Areas to Inspect

Make sure to carefully examine both the interior and exterior of your property. Here are some focus areas:

• Interior: Check appliances, plumbing, electrical systems, windows, and doors for functionality.
• Exterior: Inspect siding, roofing, landscaping, and any outdoor structures for defects or unfinished work.

Who Should Attend?

Either you or a designated representative must attend the PDI. At the end of the inspection, you'll be required to sign the PDI Form, confirming the builder has documented your observations.

Why the PDI Matters

1. Warranty Protection: Understanding your home’s systems and noting any issues ensures you’re covered by the Tarion Warranty (or applicable program in your area).
2. Peace of Mind: The PDI is your chance to address concerns before taking possession, saving you time and stress down the road.

Pro Tips for a Successful PDI

• Bring a checklist to stay organized (download the attached checklist below!).
• Take photos or videos of any defects to document your findings.
• Ask your builder how to operate key systems, like HVAC, plumbing, and appliances—misuse could void your warranty.
