ᐅ Plumbing Rough-In Inspection: What Should We Pay Attention To?

Hello everyone,
We are now having the shell inspection with the plumber. We already selected the fixtures back in March.
1. About the heating:
Our initial scope of work listed two models. The reason given was: "Depending on which one fits your house better." The contract now specifies the Stiebel Eltron LWZ 5S. So, I assume that a heating load calculation has been done and that this system fits our house, or am I mistaken?
2. About the inspection:
I understand that we will finalize the exact locations for the water connections and toilets. One point is the utility sink in the technical room. We would prefer a full-sized table here and need to discuss whether the plumber will install this or if we are allowed to buy it from the furniture store.
3. About the underfloor heating:
As the client, do we have any say in this? I would like to express that I prefer a low flow temperature and to ask if they can lay the loops quite close together. Of course, this is more like telling the contractor how I would like their work to be done.
Thank you all.

I will share this as final feedback on this trade with our general contractor as well. Until then, I’m glad that at least we will get a suitable heat pump instead of just one that’s currently available. Well, heat pumps are easier and more frequently changed than underfloor heating...
When is your project scheduled to start? Otherwise, you could consider hiring a professional planner.

hopefully more closely spaced children’s bathrooms. The list only shows one bathroom—are there now two more bathrooms?

Note to everyone: Because of the term "summary of the preliminary design," I assumed the final and efficient design would still follow. I’ve never experienced that... have you?

When will it be ready on your end? Otherwise, you could still hire a professional for the planning?The sanitary inspection took place on August 23rd, and since then I have been waiting for the heating load calculation, which I received yesterday in the attached form. We were told quite early on that the windows and sanitary installation are the bottlenecks in the construction. Therefore, I don’t want to delay that trade.RotorMotor schrieb:

All three are also listed. 🙂Edit: I just noticed that, for some reason, the forum is cropping the screenshot. For completeness, I’m attaching the bottom three rooms again.

I have never experienced that before... have you? I know this approach from heating engineers for initial planning. Then it really goes to a specialist company for the proper design.
