What is a Pre-Drywall Inspection?

A pre-drywall inspection is the most important inspection of the entire new construction process! As the name suggests, a pre-drywall inspection is an inspection done on a home before a drywall is hung. This allows an inspector to search for defects or issues that would be difficult or even impossible to find later in the home construction process.
