Pre-Drywall Walkthrough Template (Customer-Facing)
For: GCs, sales reps, homeowners, customer service managers
The pre-drywall walkthrough is the last chance for the homeowner to catch missing outlets, wrong rough-in heights, missing low-voltage, and mis-framed openings. After drywall, every change is a change order. This template walks the homeowner through every room with the questions they don't know to ask.
