This will be your first inspection. Schedule this thermal bypass inspection at least two (2) days before drywall. A BUILT TO SAVE® Rater then performs the thermal bypass inspection after insulation but before drywall.

Step 4: Schedule Your Tests

You’re almost done! After your home is complete, schedule your final inspection with BUILT TO SAVE®, and a BUILT TO SAVE® Rater will perform the Blower Door and Duct Blaster tests.

Step 5: Reap the Benefits!
