Foundation, pre-drywall, and final inspections that catch defects before they're poured over, covered up, or closed in.
Once concrete is poured and drywall goes up, much of a home's construction is hidden for good. Phase inspections put an independent inspector on site at the stages that matter most: the foundation, pre-drywall, and final.
Clay's construction background coordinating large projects for Coreslab Structures gives him a builder's eye for what to look for at each stage. Each phase gets its own report with photos you can share with your builder.
Each phase looks at what will soon be hidden.
Forms, reinforcement, and site conditions before the pour, where accessible.
Framing, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC rough-ins before walls close.
The finished home before closing.
Photos and findings for your builder.
Problems in framing, rough plumbing, and wiring are far easier and cheaper to correct before drywall goes up. After that, they're hidden behind finished walls.
Coordinate phase inspections with your builder early, so you know when each stage will be ready. Some builders have policies about third-party inspections, so check your contract.
