Can I send someone else to my PDI in Findlay Creek?

Yes, you can send someone else. Tarion says you or a designate must be present during the Pre-Delivery Inspection, and that there is no restriction on who you choose as your designate.

If you send someone in your place rather than going yourself, Tarion says you should give your builder written authority for that person to sign the PDI Form on your behalf. If you plan to attend the PDI yourself, you can also bring someone along without making them your designate.

A few things worth knowing about the PDI Form before the walk-through happens:

• The PDI Form records items that are incomplete, damaged, missing, inaccessible or not operating properly at the time of the walk-through.
• Tarion says the PDI Form is not a warranty service request, so missing an item on the form does not automatically end your warranty coverage for that item.
• The form does become useful evidence if Tarion later schedules a conciliation inspection.

Tarion places no restriction on who you bring or send, so a home inspector you hire privately can attend as your companion or designate. That is an option, not a Tarion requirement.

After possession, your one-year warranty coverage is tracked through Tarion's forms: the Initial Form, the Mid-Year Form, and the Year-End Form, which Tarion describes as your final opportunity to report items under the one-year warranty. Keeping those deadlines in mind from day one of possession matters as much as the PDI itself.

If you have questions about what your builder is obligated to do before handing over the keys, or about how the PDI Form connects to your warranty claim later, tarion.com has the full guidance, or ask Tarion directly.
