Tarion is a Canadian company operating in the insurance industry, established in 1976 and employing between 201 and 500 individuals. The company focuses primarily on providing warranty coverage for new homes in Ontario, ensuring that builders adhere to customer service standards and quality assurance practices. A key aspect of Tarion's operations is the Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) process, which is mandated for all freehold homes and condominium units. According to the instructions outlined in their published documents, builders are required to conduct a PDI using either Tarion's standard form or a compliant alternative. This inspection assesses various aspects of the home, including both interior and exterior features, and documents any damages or incomplete items. The PDI serves as a formal record of the home's condition prior to the purchaser taking possession, and it is essential for establishing warranty coverage. Tarion's commitment to maintaining industry standards is reflected in their guidelines and documentation aimed at builders and homeowners alike.
