Safety
One of the main benefits of getting your home inspected before a remodel is safety. When you require an inspection, it means significant structural work is being done on your home, and this can be dangerous. An inspection before the actual remodel will help alert you if there is anything unsafe about the area you will be working on; for example, faulty wiring that could be a hazard when you begin the remodel.

Know exactly what you need.
You will need an inspection after your remodel, but getting one done beforehand will actually help you by letting you know exactly what you need done. For example, if you had planned to finish your basement, an inspection before you remodel will help you know specifics of what is and isn't allowed while finishing your basement, like fire hazards, exit requirements, and so forth.

Help you budget better.
If you want to do a remodel, chances are you already have a set budget in mind. Getting an inspection before the remodel is also beneficial because it will help you know what exactly needs to be done, allowing you to budget better. You may have decided that you want to add an addition onto your home, only to find that in order to pass the inspection, you will need to do more work than you anticipated. The information from the inspection will let you know if you will be able to proceed as planned, or if you will need to put the project on hold until you can afford it completely.

Save money.
Getting an inspection before the remodel will also help you save money in the long run, especially if you fail it after the remodel. An inspection before will tell you just what you need, so you don't have to waste money on paying for an extension to your building permit or additional fees for another inspection.

Alerts you to more serious problems.
An inspection before you remodel could also help you find out if your home has problems, such as wiring, rotting flooring, and so forth, that you never knew about but would certainly be beneficial to know. If an inspection alerts you of other problems in your home, you can better prioritize what repairs you need to make before going ahead with your remodel.

Helps you plan better.
If you are planning on doing the majority of the remodel yourself, it could be beneficial to get your inspection before your remodel. If get an inspection before your remodel and find out the work that needs to be done is over your head, you can plan better by hiring professionals to make sure the job is done right.

These are just a few of the benefits of getting your home inspected before a remodel.
