Brand-new doesn't mean flawless. The best time to catch a framing, wiring, or plumbing issue is before the drywall goes up and hides everything behind it.
Key takeaways
- Pre-drywall is the one chance to see the home's bones.
- Builders are busy; an independent set of eyes catches what gets missed.
- Issues found now are far cheaper to fix than after drywall.
Why timing is everything
Once drywall is installed, framing, wiring, plumbing, and insulation disappear from view. The pre-drywall stage is the only practical window to inspect the structure and rough-ins directly.
What we look at
We check framing, structural connections, window and door flashing, electrical and plumbing rough-ins, and that nothing was notched or drilled in a way that weakens the structure.
An independent advocate
Your builder's crew is good, but they're moving fast across many homes. An independent inspection gives you a second set of eyes focused only on your house.
