Visual inspection before walls close, per NCHILB Pre-Drywall SOP effective October 1, 2024. Identifies framing, rough-in, moisture, and safety concerns early.
Visual, non-invasive observations of readily visible framing, rough-in components, moisture concerns, safety concerns, and installation concerns before wall coverings are installed.
If you’re having a new home built, we look to find all the things that get missed by the builder and the municipal inspectors that need to be corrected before the drywall is installed.
Framing, penetrations, rough-in plumbing, and visible electrical runs are easier to assess before insulation and drywall hide them.
Builders and trades can review documented observations before the project moves to the next phase.
Visible moisture concerns, obvious installation misses, and safety concerns can be flagged before the home is closed in.
A photo-backed report creates a clear record of what was visible at the time of inspection.
Pre-drywall inspections are not municipal code inspections, plan reviews, engineering evaluations, builder quality-control inspections, or warranty guarantees.
