Orlando Pre Drywall Inspection
Why get a pre-drywall inspection on your new home construction?
During the course of building a new home, many things can go wrong and that is why we at CFBI recommend conducting a pre-drywall installation inspection. This service is performed after the rough plumbing, electrical, HVAC, framing and roofing installation. This allows us the opportunity to check for defects before they are covered up by insulation and drywall. This is an in-depth inspection which will require substantially more time than a typical home inspection.
All CFBI pre-drywall inspections include a blueprint review to ensure the builder is following the plans and items are being installed in the correct manner. Sometimes, things get missed so it is imperative to evaluate and repair them before the drywall will cover them up.
Every CFBI inspector is certified and trained in pre-drywall inspections and will perform a thorough top to bottom inspection to identify areas of deficiencies. We will take photos of any issues and will include them in a detailed report like seen here: sample report
