It’s all about communication on our jobs. In these few pictures you can tell a lot by looking at the floor. All of our windows are numbered when ordered so we help our framers out by numbering the floor by each window opening to ensure the right window is installed in the right location. A red circle with an “S” in it helps the fire inspector locate all the smoke detector locations during inspection. Each door swing is also marked on the floor as shown here in white. This helps the homeowner visualize to ensure that’s the correct swing they want and helps us ensure we have it right when ordering doors. We also note the floor finish and direction of flooring, if applicable, as shown here in yellow. Lastly, we’ll go around and mark in orange anything that might accidentally get covered up during sheetrock. Lights, switches, outlets, speakers, tv location, vents, central vac ports, electrical whips, etc… This way we know immediately if something is buried rather then finding out in the end. While all these things help us at different points throughout the build, most importantly, they help us when walking our clients through their home prior to sheetrocking.
