IP has been trying very hard to prevent pre-drywall inspection, but more and more buyers have realized that they have the right to do so to protect themselves. we just need to be firm on this and keep pushing them.
there are also some things we can watch out by ourselves during the pre-drywall wall through. here are some points that i can think of after doing some research online:
1. bring your spec sheet and upgrade sheets and check.
2. check to see if the framing is square.
3. check if HVAC tubes in the attic are straight. every sharp turn decreases pressure.
4. take picture of each wall in every room with different angels if possible.
5. check if the house is built according to the plan.
6. check on the place you are going to add any shelf/tower rack and see where the shelf/rack should be added.
7. make note of any plumbing drainage clean-outs.
8. take picture of every electrical box.
9. do check the insulation (this has to be done at a later time) for squished edges, holes, gaps etc. and make sure insulation don't overlap onto the wall side of the studs.
10. check that joints in heat ducts are taped properly.
11. bring a measuring tape check the measurement.
12. bring a lever and check floors, stair treads etc.
pls add yours to this.
