Every Austin Point home
is built by human hands.
Human hands make mistakes.
Austin Point is Fort Bend County's fastest-growing master-planned community — thousands of new homes under construction simultaneously across multiple builders, hundreds of subcontractors, compressed timelines. Builders don't build homes. Their subcontractors do.
Municipal inspectors check for minimum code compliance, not craftsmanship. They pass a home the moment it meets the legal floor — not the standard your investment deserves. Their inspection is not working for you.
An independent phase inspection is the only eyes working exclusively in your interest, at every critical stage of your Austin Point home — before defects get covered up, poured over, or signed away at closing.
Ask who built your home and you'll get a builder's name. Ask who actually built it and the answer is: dozens of subcontractors, working fast, on a schedule that isn't yours.
— Imperial Pro Inspection · Austin Point · Richmond, TX Four phases.
One uncompromising standard.
From the day your Austin Point foundation is planned to the final day of your builder warranty — Imperial Pro is with you at every stage that matters.
Pre-Pour Foundation Inspection
The most critical phase — and the most overlooked. Before a single yard of concrete touches the Austin Point slab, we inspect form boards, rebar placement, post-tension cables, and site drainage. Fort Bend County's clay soils amplify every foundation error. A defect here doesn't get corrected. It gets buried.
- Form board placement & elevation
- Rebar & post-tension layout
- Plumbing stub-out verification
- Site drainage & grade review
- Foundation elevation baseline
Pre-Drywall Framing Inspection
Framing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC are fully exposed and accessible — then drywall covers everything for decades. This is your last opportunity to verify the structure, wiring, pipes, and mechanicals of your Austin Point home are correct before they disappear behind the walls.
- Structural framing & connections
- Electrical rough-in verification
- Plumbing supply & drain lines
- HVAC ductwork & equipment
- Insulation batt placement
Final New Construction Inspection
Performed before you close — not during the builder's walkthrough where your attention is split and you're overwhelmed. A complete TREC inspection of every system and surface. We hand you a professional report to take back to your builder. They correct it before you sign the papers.
- Full TREC home inspection
- Foundation elevation survey
- Infrared thermal imaging scan
- Moisture intrusion meter testing
- Sprinkler system operation
- Blue tape cosmetic guidance
Builder Warranty Inspection
At the 11-month mark your builder warranty is still active — but nearly closed. Foundation movement, system defects, and workmanship failures that have emerged since you moved into your Austin Point home can still be claimed. Most homeowners never schedule this. Don't be one of them.
- Full TREC home inspection
- Foundation elevation comparison
- Settlement & drainage review
- All systems & components
- Warranty claim documentation
Each phase is scheduled and priced independently. Austin Point construction timelines shift constantly — delays happen, and work that hasn't been completed yet can't be inspected. You book each phase when it's ready. You pay only for work performed.
We don't just walk
the Austin Point slab —
we measure it.
Fort Bend County's expansive clay soils are the primary driver of foundation problems across Greater Houston. Austin Point sits directly on this geology. Those soils expand when wet and contract when dry — placing continuous stress on your slab from the day it's poured.
A foundation elevation survey uses ZIPLEVEL® digital equipment to take precision measurements at dozens of points across your entire slab, documenting its exact performance at every stage. You cannot determine how a foundation is performing by looking at it. You have to measure it.
Most inspection companies in Richmond and Rosenberg skip this survey entirely. We include it at every phase at no extra charge — because a slab you can't measure is a slab you can't defend in a warranty claim.
At no extra charge. Other inspectors skip this entirely.

Phase Inspections in
Austin Point, Richmond & Fort Bend County
Austin Point is the largest new master-planned community development in Fort Bend County since Sugar Land was built out — thousands of homes under construction simultaneously across Richmond and Rosenberg, with multiple national and regional builders active across dozens of sections. This scale of development is exactly the environment where phase inspections matter most.
When hundreds of homes are being built at once, subcontractor quality is inconsistent, superintendents are stretched thin, and municipal inspectors are overwhelmed. We have inspected new construction homes from every major builder operating in Fort Bend County. Our finding is consistent: every one of them has defects. Not most of them. Every one.
Why Austin Point's Clay Soils Change the Calculation
The most important inspection service we offer in Austin Point is not on our list of services — it's included in every phase inspection at no extra charge: the foundation elevation survey. Fort Bend County's expansive clay soils are the underlying cause of most foundation issues across Greater Houston. New Austin Point homes are built on this same geology.
These soils expand when saturated during Houston's rainy periods and contract sharply during drought. That movement applies stress to slab foundations from the moment construction begins. Without a ZIPLEVEL® measurement baseline at each phase, you have no documented record of how your foundation was performing at move-in — which means no defensible position in a warranty claim if movement appears later.
Imperial Pro Inspection includes this precision elevation survey at Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4 — at no extra charge. It is the only way to know, not just guess, how your foundation is performing.
The Builder's Inspector Is Not Your Inspector
Every builder operating in Austin Point has their own quality assurance process. None of it is independent, and none of it is working for you. A third-party ICC-certified inspector has no financial relationship with the builder, no referral obligation to any real estate agent, and no incentive to minimize findings. We write what we find, photograph it thoroughly, and structure the report so your builder has no ambiguity about what needs to be corrected before you sign.
Imperial Pro Inspection serves Austin Point, Richmond, Rosenberg, Fulshear, Sugar Land, and all of Fort Bend County. Our phase inspection reports are the most detailed, photo-documented reports in this market — delivered within 24 hours and formatted to give you the maximum leverage with your builder at every stage of construction.
