Two-Phase Construction Inspection

The Two-Phase Construction Inspection includes two separate inspections that are schedule at a precise time during the construction process. It is critical that the client and builder coordinate the pre-drywall inspection to ensure all inspected systems and components will be visible on the day of the inspection and that subcontracts have completed all work. Additionally, we will report on those systems and components (that are visible), which would have been inspected during a Four-Phase Inspection (pre-slab and framing inspections).

	Pre-Drywall Inspection
	Final Walk-Through Inspection

Pre-Drywall Inspection

The pre-drywall inspection is completed just prior to the installation of the drywall.  All rough electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) should be completed at this point.  All subcontractors' work will have been checked and follow-up visits completed.  This is one of the most critical inspections as, all construction to this point will be covered and will no longer be visible. It will typically take from a few weeks to two months or more between the framing and pre-drywall inspections.

Items Inspected:

	All Systems and Components Not Reported on in Prior Inspections (if visible)
	Rough Plumbing - Water Distribution and Sewer
	Rough Electrical - Main Electrical Panel and Branch Circuits
	HVAC Installation and Ductwork
	Fire Stop and Fire Blocking
	Chimney and Fireplace Installations (if applicable)
	Attic Ventilation and Insulation
	Exterior Wall Cladding

Final Walk-Thru Inspection

The Final Walk-Through Inspection is a full Certified Home Inspection (see What We Do - Residential), and is typically completed just prior to closing. This is a critical time for the builder, and many issues will be addressed in the final days and hours leading up to closing.  We encourage you to notify your builder that you have scheduled a Final Walk-Through Inspection by an independent inspector and ensure that all construction work has been finished prior to setting the date for the Final Walk-Through Inspection.
