See the home’s visible framing, mechanical systems, and rough-ins before they are covered by insulation and drywall
A pre-drywall inspection provides an independent visual review after major framing and rough-in work has been completed but before drywall conceals important components. We document visible concerns and help you prepare informed questions for your builder before construction continues
Observe accessible framing, connections, penetrations, rough-ins, and other components before they are concealed
Document visible concerns while corrections may be easier to discuss and address during construction
Receive organized photographs and clear observations to support your conversations with the builde
We review visible and safely accessible construction components after major framing and rough-ins are installed but before insulation and drywall limit visibility
Visible walls, floors, roof framing, beams, posts, connections and openings.
Visible supply lines, drain and vent piping, supports and penetrations
Visible wiring, electrical boxes, routing, protection and service components
Visible ductwork, exhaust routes, equipment locations and mechanical penetrations
Visible insulation, air-sealing details, vapour barriers and accessible gaps
Visible installation details around windows, doors, flashing and exterior openings.
Schedule after major framing and mechanical rough-ins are installed, but before insulation and drywall limit visibility.
Obtain the builder’s permission and confirm the inspection date, site access and applicable safety requirements
We review visible and safely accessible framing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC and building-envelope components
Receive an organized, photo-supported report to help you prepare questions and discuss observations with your builder
Your report presents visible construction observations in a clear, organized format supported by photographs. It helps you understand what was observed, identify items that may require clarification, and prepare informed questions for your builder before components are concealed.
The inspection covers construction components that are installed, visible and safely accessible on the inspection date. Construction progress, stored materials, insulation, safety restrictions and completed work may limit visibility. The inspection is non-invasive and does not include destructive testing, engineering analysis or confirmation of compliance with building codes. When an observation requires specialized expertise, further evaluation by the builder or an appropriately qualified professional may be recommended.
Straight answers to common questions about scheduling, builder access, inspection scope and reporting
Schedule the inspection after the primary framing and major plumbing, electrical and HVAC rough-ins are installed, but before insulation and drywall limit visibility. Confirm the construction schedule with your builder before booking
Yes. The home remains an active construction site. You must obtain authorization from the builder and confirm the inspection date, access arrangements and applicable safety requirements.
No. A pre-drywall home inspection is an independent visual assessment. It does not replace municipal inspections, code enforcement, engineering services or the builder’s quality-control process
No. The inspection is limited to components that are installed, visible and safely accessible on the inspection date. Construction progress, insulation, stored materials and site-safety restrictions may limit visibility.
Yes. You will receive an organized digital report containing clear descriptions and supporting photographs for future reference and discussion with your builder.
Construction moves quickly. Coordinate with your builder and schedule the inspection before insulation and drywall limit visibility
