Once drywall goes up or a foundation is poured, whatever is behind it is out of sight for good.
New construction is not exempt from problems just because nobody has lived in it yet — it is a house built on a schedule, by subcontractors coordinating dozens of trades, and mistakes happen at the same rate they do anywhere else. A pre-drywall inspection catches framing, electrical rough-in, plumbing rough-in and insulation while it is still visible. A pre-pour inspection looks at the foundation setup before concrete makes anything underneath unreachable. Once either stage is covered, finding a problem means opening something back up, which nobody wants to do on a brand-new house.
A municipal inspector checks for code compliance at these same points, but a code inspection and an independent buyer's inspection are not the same exercise — one is a pass or fail check against a minimum standard, the other is someone looking at the specific house you are about to own with your interests in mind. Ordering a phase inspection does not imply the builder is doing bad work; it means an extra, independent look at stages you cannot see once the house is finished, at a point where anything found can still be corrected.
