When building a new home, there are several key phases in the construction process where inspections are highly recommended—but none are more valuable than the Pre-Drywall Phase Inspection. This inspection takes place after framing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC systems, and windows/doors are installed, but before the walls are closed in with insulation and drywall. Once the drywall goes up, many structural and system-related issues become hidden and far more expensive to repair.
A.C.F. Home Inspections, serving Orlando, FL, and surrounding areas, specializes in Pre-Drywall (Phase II) Inspections designed to ensure your home is being built correctly, safely, and according to standards before the construction progresses any further.


New construction homes are often assumed to be “problem-free,” but even reputable builders and subcontractors can make mistakes. With multiple crews working on various systems at the same time, errors or oversights can occur. The Pre-Drywall Inspection is your opportunity to verify that everything behind the walls is properly installed and functioning as intended before it becomes hidden.
This inspection focuses on the critical structural and mechanical systems of your home, including:

Ensures the home is structurally sound and built to support the weight of the building properly.

Confirms correct installation, alignment, secure attachment, and load support.

Helps slow the spread of fire and smoke—an important safety requirement that is often overlooked.

We verify conductor placement, panel accessibility, outlet layout, and overall compliance with electrical safety codes.

Ensures proper slope, layout, and secure installation to prevent leaks and drainage issues later.

Checks that your system is balanced correctly for airflow, comfort, and energy efficiency.

We look closely at windows, doors, and sealing to prevent air leaks and future moisture intrusion—two leading causes of long-term home damage.

Once drywall is installed, defects become harder to detect and repair. Catching issues now means:
Lower repair costs
Reduced risk of system failures
Improved safety and performance
Stronger long-term home value
Peace of mind during and after construction
This inspection is your chance to ensure your home is being built with quality craftsmanship—not just what is visible on the surface.
