The next step is drywall! This is a very exciting stage as you finally start to see what your house will look like and are nearing the end of the process. All final changes will be made before drywall goes up. We will confirm all locations of MEP boxes. Exterior cladding selections and the insulation package will be approved. The drywall will be installed.
Step 7
