VA Lenders Handbook (VA Pamphlet 26-7), Chapter 13, Topic 11 — New Construction.
Verbatim regulatory text
Verbatim provisions from VA Lenders Handbook (VA Pamphlet 26-7), Chapter 13, Topic 11 — New Construction — each quote is a verified substring of the regulator-published source snapshot, not retyped. Quoted for reference; this is not legal advice. The operational layer (P&P updates, prompts) lives in the regulation update kits.
VA Lenders Handbook (VA Pamphlet 26-7), Chapter 13, Topic 11 — New Construction
11. New Construction Inspections/Warranty For new construction properties, either 11a or 11b must be required based on whether or not local building inspections are performed. Since new construction must have either a 1 year or a 10-year warranty, either 11c or 11d must be marked.
Operationalizing VA Lenders Handbook (VA Pamphlet 26-7), Chapter 13, Topic 11 — New Construction
This is verbatim, source-snapshotted regulator text from the Claude for Compliance open corpus. To turn a rule like this into compliance work product: gap-analyze your policies and procedures (P&Ps) against these requirements to surface stale, conflicting, or missing provisions; operationalize any change with a ready-to-run update kit; and produce audit-ready evidence — every step grounded only in the regulator’s own words, never invented.
To work from the whole rulebook rather than this one page: download the corpus — every register on this site, verbatim, each with its source snapshot and effective date — then follow the methodology. It asks your assistant to answer only from the downloaded text, cite the register id and effective date it used, and tell you when the corpus does not cover something instead of filling the gap from memory. Running it locally also means no one sees which regulations you are looking at.
