Catch Issues Early in the Construction Process
The pre-drywall inspection is one of the most critical steps in the new construction timeline. Conducted just before drywall or stucco installation, this inspection allows our licensed inspectors to examine components that will soon be hidden behind walls.
What Is a Pre-Drywall Inspection?
A pre-drywall inspection is a visual and structural review performed after rough-ins are completed and before wall coverings go up. This timing gives inspectors access to the core systems and structural framing, making it easier to identify problems before they are covered.
What Does a Pre-Drywall Inspection Include?
Our comprehensive inspection covers all essential components:
- Electrical rough-in
- Plumbing rough-in
- HVAC ductwork rough-in
- Roof straps and truss tie-downs
- Framing and structural supports
- Foundation and slab inspection
- Exterior wall construction
- Door and window installation
This inspection ensures your home is built to code and meets high-quality standards before closing up the walls.

We completed thousands of new construction inspections from the pre-drywall phase to the final walk-through phase in the Sarasota, Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, Palmetto, Parrish, and Venice areas. Some of these communities include Savanna, Shoreview at Waterside, Country Club East Lakewood Ranch, Mallory Park, North River Ranch, and Skye Ranch.
Our only goal is to ensure your home is being built correctly, and this starts with the Pre-Drwyall Inspection.
Why Pre-Drywall Inspections Matter
Identifying issues before drywall installation is far easier and more cost-effective than discovering them after construction is complete. A pre-drywall inspection:
- Prevents costly rework and delays
- Confirms code compliance and quality craftsmanship
- Provides peace of mind before your final walkthrough
- Protects your long-term investment
