Once the board's up, nobody can see what you covered.
Every wall you close swallows somebody's work — blocking, firestop, insulation, MEP. If it's wrong behind your rock, it's your tear-out. LibreCam stamps GPS, weather, and time on every photo, online or off.
A drywall job, documented before and after the board
The cavity is open once. The finish gets painted over once. Catch both.
Pre-rock walkthrough
- The open cavity, wall by wall, before any board goes up
- Blocking for cabinets, grab bars, TVs, and handrails
- Firestopping, draft-stopping, and nail plates over MEP
- Insulation coverage and the vapor barrier intact
- MEP rough-in inspected and signed before you close it
Hang, tape & mud
- Hang progress with screw pattern and fastener spacing
- Tape and the first mud coat per area
- Second and third coats as they go on
- Problem areas flagged — bowed studs, cracks, transitions
Finish & handoff
- Final sand and the level of finish in raking light
- Primed walls and any touch-ups
- Wide shots per room for the GC sign-off
- Closeout set ready as a link before paint goes up
The photos that decide whether you get paid
Drywall closes everybody else's work, and inherits the blame when something behind the wall turns out wrong. The pre-rock photo is your best protection. Shoot the open cavity, wall by wall, before any board goes up, and the firestop, the blocking, the insulation, and the inspected rough-in are all on the record as you found them. If a missing fire-caulk surfaces later, the photo proves your board didn't hide a problem — it was already there. The other fight is over finish. A GC who paid for a Level 4 will call it a defect once a raking light catches every seam, and a dated photo of the agreed finish, sanded and primed before paint, ends that argument. The callback for a popped screw or a cracked corner is settled by a shot of the screw pattern you actually drove. LibreCam keeps it automatic: GPS, weather, and time on every shot, organized by job, ready to hand the GC as a single link built from a pre-rock checklist.
Built for how drywall crews actually work
Pre-rock cavity proof
Shoot the open wall before you hang. Firestop, blocking, insulation, MEP — all documented as found, so closing it doesn't make their problem yours.
Firestop and blocking on the record
Fire-caulk, draft-stops, nail plates, and backing — photographed before board covers them. The proof the inspector and the GC both ask for.
Level of finish, documented
Final sand in raking light, primed and ready. When a GC calls Level 4 a defect, the photo shows the level you agreed to deliver.
No signal on the shell? Keep shooting.
Mid-build interiors have no Wi-Fi. Photos and captions queue on your phone and sync when you leave the site.
Pre-rock checklist that matches the close
Blocking, firestop, insulation, MEP sign-off — work the list so no wall gets boarded with a buried problem unphotographed.
One link for the GC
No app on their end. They open a browser gallery — cavity shots before close, finish shots before paint, by room.
Frequently Asked Questions
The open cavity, wall by wall: blocking and backing, firestopping, nail plates over wiring and pipe, insulation coverage, the vapor barrier, and the inspected rough-in. Once the board's up, none of it can be seen — and you'll be blamed for whatever's wrong behind it.
A dated pre-rock photo shows the cavity as you found it before you closed it. If a missing fire-caulk surfaces later, the photo proves the problem was already there, not something your board created.
Shoot the final sand in raking light, primed, before paint goes on. When a GC who paid for a Level 4 expects a Level 5, the photo shows the finish you agreed to deliver.
Yes. Photograph the screw pattern and spacing as you hang. When a fastener pops or a corner cracks later, the shot shows what you actually drove.
Yes. Everything saves to your phone first and syncs when you're back in signal. Bare interiors are exactly the case it's built for.
Nothing. LibreCam is free for the whole crew — the free plan is the product, not a trial.
