A Pre-Drywall Inspection is performed during the construction phase of a home, after the framing, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems have been installed—but before insulation and drywall are added. This is a critical stage where key structural and mechanical components are still fully visible.

This inspection provides a visual, non-invasive evaluation of the home’s major systems and structural elements prior to concealment. Identifying concerns at this stage allows for corrections to be made before they become hidden behind finished surfaces.

The inspection may include:

• Structural framing (walls, floors, roof systems)
• Foundation anchoring and visible components
• Roof decking and framing connections
• Electrical wiring, panel placement, and basic safety concerns
• Plumbing supply, drain, and vent systems
• HVAC ductwork and equipment rough-ins
• Window and door installation
• General workmanship and installation practices

Clients receive a detailed report outlining observations, including any deficiencies, installation concerns, or items that may require further evaluation or correction by the builder.

Important Notes:

• This is a visual inspection only and does not involve destructive testing.
• Compliance with building codes is outside the scope; however, common installation defects and safety concerns are identified.
• Conditions may change as construction progresses.

A Pre-Drywall Inspection helps ensure quality construction, provides peace of mind, and gives buyers an opportunity to address issues early—before they become costly or difficult to access.
