Pre-Drywall Inspection
A pre-drywall inspection reviews a new home during construction, after the major systems are installed but before drywall covers them, while framing, wiring, and plumbing are still visible.
What it is
A pre-drywall inspection is performed during new construction, after the major systems have been installed but before the walls and ceilings are covered. It is a chance to look at components that will soon be hidden behind finished surfaces.
Once drywall goes up, many of these areas are no longer visible. Reviewing them at this stage helps identify concerns while they are still comparatively easy to address.
Who usually needs it
Buyers of new-construction homes who want an independent set of eyes during the build, before the walls are closed in.

Florida & Space Coast context
Timing matters on a pre-drywall inspection. It has to happen in the window after rough-ins are complete but before insulation and drywall. New construction moves quickly on the Space Coast, so it helps to schedule as soon as you know your framing and rough-in dates.
