Reframe walls if you are adding utility closets, soundproofing, or recessing an outlet box. Done looks like having signed permit cards posted on-site with open stud bays ready for utility rough-ins.",

If adding a soaking sink, rough in the drain and vent pipes now. This step concludes when pipes pass pressure tests and receive municipal rough plumbing sign-off.",

Route rigid metal ductwork to an exterior vent hood, keeping the total run well under residential length caps. Finish this stage by securing electrical rough-in approval before covering wall studs.",
