Pre-drywall walkthrough
A pre-drywall walkthrough is a scheduled visit to inspect framing, wiring, plumbing, and insulation before drywall covers everything up.
Why it matters
This is your last chance to see inside the walls. Changes are cheap now and expensive after drywall. Verify outlet locations, blocking, and rough-in details.
Where people get this wrong
This is not the same as an inspection. It is your opportunity to verify the work matches your expectations while it is still visible and fixable.
Real-world example
During the walkthrough, you notice the TV outlet is too low. The electrician moves it in 15 minutes. After drywall, that change would take hours and create a mess.
Where this hits your build
This comes up early, before construction starts. It affects your contract, your budget, or both. Misunderstanding it can cost you money or leverage.
Most people do not just struggle with terms. They struggle with the decisions tied to them.
