Custom Home Build in Full Swing (Windows, Plumbing and Electrical Installed) | Episode 34

This is where the build really starts to move. Windows, plumbing, electrical, and multiple trades are all working at the same time as the custom home begins to come together. In this episode, we walk through a busy job site where major systems are being installed simultaneously. Windows and large sliding doors are delivered and installed, plumbing rough-ins are completed, and electrical work begins with lighting, switches, and smart control systems. We break down key construction details including wall carriers for wall-mounted toilets, how to properly plan for bidet installations, and why insulation and vapor barriers must be installed before tubs and shower bases. You will also see how custom shower bases are modified on site to work around structural limitations. We also cover important building science concepts like separating plumbing from exterior walls, maintaining conditioned spaces, and how insulation strategies change depending on wall assemblies and code requirements.
