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.
An independent inspection at the right milestone protects your investment and your warranty — whether you're still in construction or coming up on your first year.
Trades Are Stretched Thin
Alberta's building boom means rushed framing, plumbing and electrical work — and more defects slipping past site supervisors.
New Doesn't Mean Flawless
Missed insulation, improper flashing, unsealed penetrations and code deficiencies show up in brand-new builds all the time.
The Warranty Window Closes Fast
Alberta's New Home Warranty has hard deadlines. Documented defects get fixed on the builder's dime — undocumented ones don't.
Pre-Drywall Inspection
Framing, rough-ins, electrical and insulation reviewed before the walls close up.
Pre-Possession Walkthrough
Every system, finish and deficiency documented before you take the keys.
11th Month Warranty Inspection
Booked at month 10–11, so settlement cracks, nail pops and failed seals are filed before your 1-year coverage ends.
Builder-Ready Documentation
Dated, photo-rich findings formatted for direct submission to your builder.
