The trades and the owner's choices

Single-family home · part 2 of 2 · 1:06

Electrical, plumbing and HVAC, the owner's selections and the permit packet.

What the narrator says

Part two of the house: the trades, and the owner's choices.
Electrical works out the service size from the house: the general lighting load, the small-appliance and laundry circuits, and every appliance. Then it lists each circuit with its breaker, wire and the protection the code calls for.
Plumbing reads the fixtures off the rooms and sizes the drains, the vents and the water lines from the plumbing code tables.
HVAC places the equipment, the supplies and the returns on the plan for each floor. Equipment sizing waits for a proper load calculation; Keystone never guesses it.
Selections lists everything the owner has to pick, like flooring, cabinets, countertops and fixtures, each with an allowance and the date it is needed. Going over an allowance becomes a change order automatically.
And the permit packet comes together from all of it: the plans, the electrical service and the code notes, ready for the township.
Whatever you build, it all runs through the same job record, from the first phone call to handing over the keys.
