To perform new construction code inspections you need more than a home inspector.

Casey Callais brings decades of hands-on construction experience to every inspection, beginning with years of residential renovation work in Beaumont, Texas under his father's mentorship. His expertise supported him through university and led to international construction projects, including managing school and library construction in Nicaragua through a non-profit organization.

Casey maintains current knowledge of building codes through ongoing study and continuing education, ensuring clients receive thorough, accurate inspections backed by both practical experience and regulatory expertise. His international experience combined with his Texas roots provides a unique perspective on diverse construction systems and practices.

Casey founded Constructiva Realty Inspections to provide inspection services tailored to each client's specific needs. His comprehensive understanding of residential construction enables him to identify potential issues and provide clients with the documentation they and their builders need to help ensure A+ construction.

PRE-POUR INSPECTION

Documentation for new construction you and the engineer can count on. 

Report includes references to the PTI standards and the 2024 IRC code, measure for level and square, photo documentation of the reinforcement, beams, and plumbing, check against the plans (if available), and advice on communicating with the builder. 


IRC NEC

PRE-DRYWALL INSPECTION

Code inspection report designed not just to document but to educate.

Inspection includes references to the 2024 IRC code, 2023 NEC code, links and graphics from manufacturers' installation instructions, 360° photo documentation of major rooms, evaluating the installation in accordance to the structural plans (if available), and of course advice on communicating with the builder. 


 

FINAL AND WARRANTY

A higher standard in new construction code inspections

Final construction inspections include orange taping on site, references to the 2024 IRC code, 2023 NEC code, NAHB Guidelines, links and graphics to manufacturers' installation instructions, and thermal image scan.

Warranty inspections include the above  but also references from the builder's warranty standards and a repair estimate for builder negotiations. 

As with all inspections, I am happy to share advice on communicating with the builder.

MY INSPECTION PHILOSOPHY

Clear findings. Code references. Repair-ready.

A quality home inspection report serves multiple readers—homeowners, builders, engineers, and attorneys when disputes require documentation. I believe that a great new construction inspection report should be designed with all three audiences in mind.

For that reason each report includes photo and video documentation of deficiencies, references to IRC, NEC, and manufacturer installation standards, and precise locations to streamline builder repairs.

After your inspection, I believe a great inspection should follow with as needed support including builder communication, repair recommendations, and guidance on next steps. Bilingual services available in English and Spanish.

Navigating new construction involves agents, contracts, lenders, and builders competing for your attention. As your independent third-party inspector, I personally believe in advocating for you and your home.

 

"Good morning, Casey, Thank you for your thorough inspection, a quality secondary inspection really helps me evaluate my staff and see the areas where they can improve. If you ever want a job with great benefits and advancement opportunities let me know!

Casey is the best inspector in Austin. I can say that because I've used 3 others here who aren't nearly as thorough, knowledgeable, or easy to work with. The contruction market in Austin is one where there is alot of sub par contractors pretending to be professionals. I've built / remodeled houses in the CA Bay area, Seattle and Houston - larger markets where the bar is much higher. Casey is as good as the best I've seen anywhere. You won't find a better construction inspector in Austin.

We hired Casey for a warranty inspection and had a fantastic experience. He was extremely thorough and knowledgeable, and we're very happy with the detailed report he produced. Plus, he's very friendly and patient. He did a fantastic job explaining his findings and answering my (many) questions.

I've had help from Casey on commercial and private home property now and nothing but the utmost quality of service. Detailed reports and he even let me shadow him a bit to learn and gave me advice on how I can save some money by DIYing it. I highly recommend for any inspection services that you may need!

Ryan did a prepour inspection for our new home. It was a last minute job because we didn't get much notice from the builder of when foundation would be poured. I called Casey and he sent Ryan to do the job the very next day. The inspection was thorough and uncovered several issues that needed to be addressed before the pour. I really appreciate the fast response and professionalism and highly recommend Constructiva!

Casey is great! Came on time for the roof inspection, gave me detailed report, and had a consultation call with him to go over the report. Highly Recommend his inspection services.

We discovered significant water damage at our home and turned to Constructiva to get an idea of just how significant. Casey was amazing -- patient, thoughtful, thorough -- and he helped us process and better understand what had been an overwhelming situation. I would recommend him without hesitation.

Casey and Levi are top-notch home inspectors! They were incredibly thorough, knowledgeable, and respectful of our space. They caught hidden issues, re-checked previous inspection items, and helped us get everything lined up for our 1-year builder warranty before time ran out. Having them inspect our home gave us complete peace of mind. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely be using them again!

Casey and Levi dropped by to perform an inspection on a new build house. They were both very thorough and took time to explain their findings, recommendations, and put the building code references in the final report to share with the builder. Would definitely recommend for any house purchase.

The report was excellent. I forwarded it to my building manager that next morning and he fixed up (almost) everything before closing. He was actually super appreciative of the report, he said he wished all his customers used you as their 3rd party inspector :)
