New construction
Pre-drywall inspection in Jacksonville and Eastern North Carolina.
See the house before the drywall hides it. This is the last clear look at framing, wiring, plumbing, and ducts. Miss that window and you are buying a finished house with the important parts already covered.
Why buyers book this
01
You still have leverage
The builder can correct open work. After drywall, paint, and trim, the same fix means opening the house back up — usually on your dime, after you own it.
02
The report is yours
Photos and plain-language findings you can send the site super and your agent. Cody does not work for the builder.
03
New does not mean finished right
A house can pass a municipal rough-in and still have details a buyer should see: framing, mechanicals, and moisture in the cavities.
Open cavities. Marked on the house and in the report.
Walls are still open: studs, cables, pipes, and ducts. Where something needs to be corrected, Cody marks it on the framing so the crew can find it, and he writes that same item into your report. You leave with marks on the work and a record you can send the builder — not only a conversation on site.

What gets looked at
The exact scope follows the stage the house is in when Cody arrives. If the walls are still open, this is the work.
Framing
Studs, headers, joists, and connections while the skeleton is still visible. This is when a wrong cut or a weak header is a conversation, not a remodel.
Rough electrical
Wiring routes, boxes, and panel rough-in before drywall hides a pinched cable or a box that will never sit flush.
Rough plumbing
Supply and waste lines, supports, and penetrations. A leak found now is a fitting. A leak found later is a ceiling.
HVAC rough-in
Ducts, boots, and how the system is laid out. Undersized or crushed runs are obvious in an open cavity and miserable to live with later.
Insulation and air sealing
Coverage and gaps if insulation is already in, including the spots that leak expensive conditioned air on the coast.
Moisture and flashing
Window and door openings, flashing, and staining on the framing — before paint makes a wet wall look new.
Book it before the drywall hangers show up.
Schedule after rough-in and before drywall. If insulation is going in first, say so — the visit should land while the layers that matter are still visible. For a custom build or a spec house you are about to buy, this is the inspection that protects the purchase, not a second opinion after you have already moved in. If the house is already finished, the new construction inspection is the visit before you close.
