Prior to occupancy or closing, you will be invited to join an Auburn Homes representative at your home for a pre-delivery inspection, or PDI. The purpose of this meeting is to provide you with orientation on the features and equipment of your new home, as well as give you an opportunity to inspect the home for defects. Attending your PDI and carefully recording the condition of your new home is the first step in activating your warranty coverage. The notes you take that day are a factual account of the condition of your home and can be referenced in future warranty claims.

The PDI takes about an hour, and should be attended by all the legal purchasers. It is not appropriate to bring children to this meeting as your undivided attention will be required. If you intend to send a designate to conduct the PDI in your place, you must notify Auburn Homes in writing, permitting your designate to sign the legal documents on your behalf. Appropriate clothing and footwear should be worn to the PDI meeting, as you may be required to inspect your homes exterior in all types of weather.

During your PDI, any deficiencies or incomplete items will be recorded on a PDI form. You and your Auburn Homes representative will be required to sign the form to acknowledge and agree on the condition of the home at the time of occupancy. This form will be submitted to Tarion on your behalf, and will also serve as a checklist of items to be completed prior to occupancy or closing. Special exceptions may apply for seasonal items such as sod or driveways. Details of these exceptions can be found in the Tarion Performance Guidelines.

You will also be required to sign a Tarion Certificate of Completion and Possession (CCP), to mark the official date of possession, which establishes the beginning of your warranty coverage.
