When you hire a contractor or your construction-savvy brother-in-law, you assume that you are going to get the work you pay for; you hope that it is what your home in Charlotte needs in order to be structurally sound and to pass a building code inspection. However, before you move on to hanging drywall and beginning the finishing process, you must invest in a pre-drywall inspection.

A pre-drywall inspection is performed after walls have been framed, after doors, windows, foundation, flooring, and roof components have been installed, and after the plumbing, HVAC, and electrical systems have been roughed in. This type of building inspection is always performed before any drywall is hung — hence the name. However, it can be performed before or after insulation has been placed. Having the inspection done after the insulation has been installed can allow the home inspector to determine if it has been installed correction, but the insulation can also obscure their view of other important components.
