There is a week, sometimes two, when the house is a drawing of pipes and cables on raw walls. It is the least photogenic moment and the most decisive after structure. The client who waits until “it looks nice” to comment arrives late. What is not planned gets broken later. What is planned can still be changed with a pencil.
Key points
- Water: points, pressure and the heater nobody drew: Count taps, WCs, yard sink, washing machine, filter, the place for the tank or heater.
- Drainage: fall, smells and the patio that floods: Soil and stormwater are not the same pipe.
- Power and data: sockets where life happens: Living table, desk, bedside, kitchen island, gallery tree, gate, cameras.
- Air, extract and what the split needs: Plan condensate drains, the outdoor unit that does not spoil the facade or roar at a bedroom, a kitchen extract that actually leaves the room.
- How to close this stage in writing: A walk with the drawing in hand, red marks, a yes to what gets covered next week.
Water: points, pressure and the heater nobody drew
Count taps, WCs, yard sink, washing machine, filter, the place for the tank or heater. Ask that they match the kitchen and bathroom plan, not “we will see later”. In Paraguay the tank and pump are part of the house, not a shameful extra. If there is no technical corner, you will live with kit the render had erased.
Drainage: fall, smells and the patio that floods
Soil and stormwater are not the same pipe. Ask where each goes, whether there is a chamber, whether the patio falls, whether the guest WC does not cross the whole house. A reverse fall is discovered when the floor is already down. That is why this inspection is worth a ticket if you live far away.
Power and data: sockets where life happens
Living table, desk, bedside, kitchen island, gallery tree, gate, cameras. A generic electrical plan leaves dead skirting and eternal extension leads. Bring a typical day and mark sockets. You do not need the lamp model. You need the point.
Air, extract and what the split needs
Plan condensate drains, the outdoor unit that does not spoil the facade or roar at a bedroom, a kitchen extract that actually leaves the room. If this waits for the brand installer, plaster has already closed the decent route. A Paraguayan summer is not the moment to discover condensate running down exposed concrete.
How to close this stage in writing
A walk with the drawing in hand, red marks, a yes to what gets covered next week. Interior photographs in the portfolio are enjoyable when the pipes were right. Nobody applauds them. Everybody suffers when they are missing.
