sprinkler system first and then
having HVAC installed, could and
has resulted in broken water
lines that can flood a building in
seconds. But home building is all
about turning the house around
as quickly as possible to get it
sold and move on to the next
one. Hence the need for trades
to do their respective jobs and
not be concerned that another
trade may have not completed
their assigned tasks. Like drywall
over a gas pipe that hasn’t been
connected. No big deal, you just
rip a piece of drywall out and
connect the pipe. Seems like a
waste of time and materials, but
that’s the process and it’s best to
just let them do what they do.
My point, take notes, take
photos, walk the property with
your builder and point out any
concerns you might have. In the
end, if you have a quality builder
like Mike working with you, all
these issues will be corrected in
due time, and you end up with a
well built home. Next month, the
inside comes together.
Make sure the HVAC Coolant line doesn’t make contact with any interior
drywalls. The condensation will result in mold growth.
