PHASE 6:

ROUGH-INS

Building the Systems That Make a House Work.

What Happens in This Phase?

The Rough-In phase is when the essential systems that make a home functional begin taking shape. Plumbing pipes, electrical wiring, HVAC ductwork, equipment connections, and other components are installed inside the structure before the walls and ceilings are covered.

In this phase, discover how these systems are coordinated, why their placement matters, and how proper testing and inspections help prepare the house for insulation and drywall.
