    When we had a house built back in '93, I was there at least several times a week. Pictures are a must. The drywall guys covered one outlet and didn't cut it out. Easily fixed after the fact.

    He probably means a rough-in inspection, looking at plumbing and electrical (and maybe insulation) before the drywall covers it all up.
    Word to the wise: if you did the electrical yourself and got a master electrician friend to sign it off, don't make it look too neat. Years ago, when the AA Co inspector looked at my addition's electrical (which I had painstakingly done myself, with every wire being straight and every bend 90 degrees), he said "You did this wiring yourself". I asked "now why would you say that?". He replied "No commercial guy would have done this good a job". Then he laughed and signed it off.

    Same thing when I finished my basement. First thing the inspector said was, “you do this yourself?” We spent the rest of the time BS’ing while he glanced around the basement.

    If I were to do a rough walk through, I'd want my architects along. They would have prints and a working knowledge of layout, blocking, etc. I have seen this throughout the building phase of custom homes.
