What’s hiding inside the walls? Everything! Let’s meet on site to take a look, when your build is underway.
There’s a reason I get excited about the pre-drywall stage—this is where the bones of your home start telling their story. I’m Phil, and I’ll be guiding your custom home build with Travars Built Homes. While I’ll be walking you through this in person during your build, I wanted to share a few things ahead of time. Here’s what I look for (and what you can, too).
There’s something powerful about watching your custom home coming together as we walk through each phase of the project.
The pre-drywall walk-through is one of my favorite tech talk opportunities, before we give the go-ahead to the drywall crew to close off the view of the components tucked inside your framing that make everything work.
As a build phase, what’s behind the walls is just as important as deciding on that perfect shade of paint, or counter top color.
The time we spend together at your pre-drywall walkthrough provides the opportunity to see and ask about the systems intertwined to work together within your walls (and an opportunity to know where not to drill when you hang your TV, artwork and photos.)
I’ll be at your side to answer questions about “rough-ins” that will give your home life, such as:
- HVAC (central forced air with a heat pump and zoning) – the lungs of your home that pump hot and cold air to keep everything comfortable.
- Plumbing – Warm showers on a cold day. Or that cold shower after a run(maybe that’s just me). And, of course, the sanitation system. You’ll be choosing faucets soon!
- Electrical – the wiring that will light up your home and provide the “go” for whatever is plugged into sockets.
Pre-drywall activity is a transformative phase of the build – the feeling of a structure truly starting to feel like Home.
It’s like watching a plot point in a movie, where you start to see things come together. I’m a visual person, so this really sets the stage of everything to come.
We’ll get this on calendar in your online portal right after the county inspector’s approval for this phase of the build.
See you there!
– Phil, Travars Built Homes
