2. Sequenced manpower: right-sized crews for rough, top-out, and trim milestones

3. Finish protection: runners, guards, and tidy containment in late stages

4. Inspection-ready: pressure tests, photos, and checklists before AHJ walk-through

5. Rapid punch & warranty: close issues fast; we stand behind our work

   
   

Why It Matters

• Early VE saves days, not hours: correct rough heights, venting paths, and fixture selections prevent costly rework.

• Clean rough = clean trim: accurate layout and labeling reduce trim errors and punch churn.

• A single accountable partner from groundworks to homeowner handoff cuts finger-pointing and downtime.
