Drywall: Patchy insulation in the cavity
Gaps in the insulation destroy acoustic performance. Once the wall is closed, this cannot be repaired.
Walls still open: Last check before plaster or second boarding
Drywall is boarded on one side only or solid masonry is being prepared for base plaster. Services, junctions and timber supports are still visible now. After the second board or the plaster, that window closes. Use this opportunity for accurate documentation.
Common defects before closing walls
Drywall: Forgotten reinforcements for heavy loads
Without built-in timber supports, you cannot safely attach heavy cabinets or TVs later. Check the planned locations.
Plaster prep: Windows and openings poorly prepared
Missing masking, untidy reveals or missing corner beads lead to plaster faults. Rework is particularly expensive and time-consuming here.
Drywall & plaster: Junctions to floor and ceiling incomplete
Open joints and missing seals at transitions become invisible after closing. Later cracks and drafts are the expensive consequence.
What you document today
Open wall or raw masonry as an overview
Photograph all open walls room by room. Capture services and the preparation at the windows.
Take close-ups of critical details
Document insulation, timber supports, corner beads, masking and junctions from close up. This secures evidence of correct execution.
Note open questions with wall face

Photograph services with a scale reference
Place a folding rule or tape measure in the picture. This is the only way you will know later where it is safe to drill.
