Colin Craig
Owner & Lead Inspector
With over 20 years of hands-on experience in custom renovations, new builds, and residential construction, Colin brings a depth of knowledge that sets HomeWise apart. He doesn't just inspect homes — he understands how they're built from the foundation up, what can go wrong, and what matters most when you're making one of life's biggest decisions.
Colin is also a licensed Alberta REALTOR®, which gives him a rare dual perspective: he sees the inspection through both a builder's eye and a real estate lens. That means he understands how inspection findings can affect pricing, negotiations, conditions, and closing timelines — and he reports with the clarity you and your agent need to move forward with confidence.
His construction background means he can identify issues that others might miss, explain whether something is a maintenance item or a serious concern, and help you prioritize next steps. Colin is committed to providing honest, thorough inspections that give you a clear picture of your property's condition.

Building New in Alberta? Don't Skip the Inspection.
Alberta's housing demand is at record highs and the trades are stretched thinner than ever. An independent third-party inspection at every key stage protects your investment, your warranty, and your family.
Trade Shortages in Alberta
Alberta's construction boom has stretched skilled trades thin. Rushed framing, plumbing, and electrical work mean more defects slipping past site supervisors.
New Doesn't Mean Flawless
Even brand-new builds routinely have missed insulation, improper flashing, unsealed penetrations, and code deficiencies that builders won't catch on their own walkthrough.
Material Substitutions
With supply pressures and rising costs, materials and finishes get swapped mid-build. An independent inspection verifies what was actually installed in your home.
Warranty Window Closes Fast
Alberta's New Home Warranty has strict deadlines. Documenting issues early protects your right to have the builder fix them on their dime — not yours.
Three Critical Inspection Stages
We recommend inspections at each milestone so issues are caught while they're still the builder's responsibility to fix.
Pre-Drywall Inspection
Framing, plumbing rough-ins, electrical, and insulation reviewed before walls close up.
Pre-Possession Walkthrough
Final inspection before you take keys — every system, finish, and deficiency documented.
1-Year Warranty Inspection
Catch settlement issues and warrantable defects before your coverage window expires.
Building New? Don't Skip the 11th Month Warranty Inspection
New homes in Calgary shift and settle through their first Chinook winter, spring melt, and summer heat. Our 11th month inspection catches warrantable defects before your builder's 1-year coverage closes.
Your 1-Year Warranty Has a Hard Deadline
Alberta's New Home Buyer Protection Act gives you 1 year of materials & labour coverage from possession. After that, builder fixes come out of your pocket.
Defects Take Time to Appear
Settlement cracks, nail pops, caulking failures, and minor leaks often don't show until after a full Calgary freeze-thaw cycle and seasonal movement.
Documented Defects Get Fixed
Our photo-rich report gives you dated, location-specific evidence formatted for direct submission to your builder — turning your warranty into real protection.
Timed at 10–11 Months
Booking at month 10–11 leaves enough time to file your warranty claim before the 12-month deadline expires, protecting your right to a free repair.
The Cheapest Insurance Against a Missed Warranty Deadline
One warrantable defect caught in time — a settlement crack, a leaking window, or a failed seal — can pay for the inspection many times over. We deliver a builder-ready report the same day.
What We Check Before Your Warranty Expires
- • Foundation & settlement cracks
- • Roof, flashing & exterior sealants
- • Door & window operation after seasonal movement
- • Grading & drainage after spring melt
- • HVAC performance through hot & cold seasons
- • Thermal imaging for moisture & insulation gaps
- • Interior drywall, trim, grout & caulking
