Here’s another couple of gems:
- memorize as much of the code as you can especially with respect to stuff that you won’t have access to for insulating and vapour barrier after the tin bashers get their ducting in or after chimney flues are installed

- learn the proper lapping of poly on exterior walls for tying in to your interior wall poly, and leaving lots of poly uncut in window RO’s for lapping later

- make sure the boarders aren’t flexing window frames inward by zip cutting drywall so close to windows that they flex in or can’t be insulated, or cause window frames to flex in if they get spray foamed

- remember your framers doing backing for towel bars, tp dispensers, vanities and fireplace mantels

- make sure cabinet walls don’t have studs crowned the wrong way. Same for fireplace walls

- get your basement window wells bolted on before foundation backfill

- get your final paint stage touchups done after flooring because carpet guys will rub the bottoms of walls with the carpet backing

- use a bright headlamp or light and a pencil or green painters tape to mark drywall finish deficiencies or paint deficiencies

- give hard copy deficiency lists and get subs to check off items so you don’t have to effectively do your inspection three or four times
