Talk about the importance of a builder that is well-documented, that does not allow work to be done on a job site that can later come back and surprise the client, and the importance of getting the clients to approve work early.

It's key.

For one thing, that sets the expectation up front.

Tighter homes, more efficient homes need smaller HVAC units to be efficient.

As you plan your insulation and your ceiling package, like you said, it is a sequence.

It's not all done necessarily at the same time.

It's basically the top of the drywall and where that
