Home Services

As framing is completed, the subcontractors arrive on-site to begin the rough mechanicals — or first stage — of the plumbing, heating, cooling and electrical systems. A guest talks about the open-web floor joists, which allow the subcontractors to run all of their systems through. Using the systems-integration approach, viewers learn the order in which the subcontractors install their systems.

The rough stage is nothing but the behind-the-walls working of the plumbing, heating, cooling and electrical systems. In a typical home these systems are designed separately, but for the high-tech Oberg home, typical is not part of the vernacular. For example, normally one engineer will design the heating-and-cooling system, one engineer will design the structural system and usually theres no engineer for the plumbing, which is just installed by a contractor.

The building engineers at Ibacos recommended an integrated approach to designing and installing these systems. To accomplish this for the Oberg home, the engineers created a detailed set of drawings for each subcontractor to follow. These systems-integration drawings enables each sub-trade to look at the drawings and go about their work while not only thinking about the task at hand but about the further process of an electrician, plumber or the heating and cooling subcontractor.
