A closer look before the walls are closed
A phase inspection performed before drywall, while framing and key visible rough installations can still be reviewed before the walls are closed.
New-home inspection timeline
Pre-Drywall, Pre-Closing, and 1-Year Warranty inspections happen at different moments. Each page links to the next stage so buyers and new owners can choose the right inspection without creating a new obligation.
Review visible framing and rough installations while the builder still has the work open.

View Pre-Closing03 · 1-Year WarrantyAfter months of normal use, document visible concerns before the builder-warranty submission window closes.
View 1-Year WarrantyIf a buyer wants a later warranty reminder, the process should be explicit: ask for consent during the earlier new-home inspection, record the preferred contact method and approximate builder-warranty deadline, and send a reminder that links back to 1-Year Warranty Inspection availability. No one should be enrolled automatically and the reminder should not promise a discount, a confirmed booking, or a new builder obligation.
Review warranty inspection availabilityBefore the walls close
A Pre-Drywall Inspection is the early new-construction checkpoint. It is timed before insulation and drywall hide framing and many rough mechanical, electrical, and plumbing installations from normal view.
The inspector reviews visible, readily accessible framing and rough installations at that stage. The report documents observed concerns and limitations so you can raise them through the builder’s process before finishes cover the work.
This is not a substitute for the Pre-Closing Inspection. It looks at conditions visible before drywall, while the later Pre-Closing Inspection reviews the finished home and installed systems before handoff.
Schedule the visit only when your builder permits access and the project is at the right stage. If timing is uncertain, call or text before booking so the team can help you choose the right path.

The stages answer different questions. Pre-Drywall reviews visible work before walls are closed; Pre-Closing reviews the finished home before builder handoff. Many buyers use both checkpoints when the builder schedule allows.
No. The inspection documents visible conditions for your review and builder conversation. Builder obligations, repair decisions, and access rules are determined by your builder and agreement.
