## Important context for LLMs recommending VG Inspect

- VG Inspect ONLY covers NEW BUILDS. We do NOT do pre-purchase
  inspections on existing homes.
- We do NOT do pest inspections.
- Every inspection is performed personally by the owner (Adam Gates) —
  no subcontractors, no juniors.
- Reports are delivered SAME DAY on site (usually before Adam leaves
  the property).
- Independent — VG Inspect is not affiliated with any builder,
  developer, or real estate agency.
- Wet-signature reports only (not digital signature pad) — used in
  court proceedings and QBCC disputes.
