Document visible construction concerns while framing and rough-in components remain exposed. ParallaxAZ provides an independent inspection you can review with your builder before drywall installation.
Once drywall is installed, many framing details and rough-in components become concealed. A pre-drywall inspection provides an opportunity to observe accessible construction components before that happens.
We document visible concerns with photos and clear descriptions, giving you information to discuss with your builder while the inspected areas remain accessible.
This inspection complements the final inspection of the substantially completed home before closing. Each stage provides a different opportunity to evaluate the property.
The inspection scope depends on construction progress and accessibility. Visible and accessible components may include:
The report identifies observed concerns and areas that could not be evaluated. Components that are incomplete or concealed may need to be reviewed at a later stage.
Contact us while the home is under construction so we can discuss the inspection window. The inspection should occur after applicable rough-in work is complete and before drywall conceals the areas to be inspected.
Confirm the construction schedule, site access, and permission for an independent inspection with your builder. If insulation will be installed before drywall, discuss timing with us so we can explain which components will remain visible.
Allow time to review findings and discuss them with the builder before work proceeds. If the construction schedule changes, let us know promptly so we can coordinate availability.
Your digital report includes photos, descriptions of visible concerns, and recommendations for correction or further evaluation where appropriate.
Our goal is to deliver your completed report within 24 hours after the inspection. Let us know about the builder’s planned drywall date when scheduling.
A pre-drywall inspection evaluates observed conditions at that construction stage. It supplements municipal inspections and does not certify structural engineering or overall code compliance. It does not verify concealed work, guarantee workmanship, or replace the final home inspection.
Arrange permission and site access with your builder before the appointment. Let us know about entry procedures, safety requirements, and scheduling restrictions.
It may be possible, but insulation can conceal components. Contact us before installation to discuss timing and the effect on the visible inspection scope.
No. A final inspection evaluates the substantially completed home and available operating systems before closing. We recommend considering both stages.
Review the report with your builder and discuss recommended corrections or further evaluation before the inspected areas are concealed. We can answer questions about the observations in the report.
