Get a 2023 or up….the 10 speed transmission is fixed in those years…the 3.5 ecoboost is fine…use the premium gas and change the oil frequently and you won’t have problems

Anything you didn’t do in your home that you absolutely wouldn’t leave out if you were to build again?
Electrical…at least include the ATS in the build…make sure the electrician is pigtailing the outlets, not backstabbing…make sure…make sure they put j boxes for anything going in the soffit
Plumbing - Manibloc manifold with homeruns to each valve
At least a rough in for outdoor kitchen
CAT 6 to every TV and 2 or 3 cat 6 if you will have a Sonos soundbar or video game system

If you want to discuss any of my recommendations for what to do or how to do it feel free to email me at pelicanconstructionpa@gmail.com When I was in PA I was Pelican Construction, in LA I’m Home Improvements by DL but never changed the address

The only issue you’ll see is the builder is going to see dollar signs. I have a buddy of mine trying to build pricing out plans done by an architect and their first comment is ohhhh this was done by an architect it’s going to cost a lot more

What does the engineer matter…the shithead parish inspector seems to do his drive by and approve everything

What’s to stop the builder from trying to say oh that’s going to cost a lot more you don’t need all of that…..that’s kind of what I’m hearing happens around here….i live in a neighborhood that Pro One Developed, so they built a lot in here, traditions built 3, Inline built a few, PJC built some and a couple of other names, but from what I’m seeing all of the MEPs done in here are crap
I recently got my electrical contractors license and home improvement contractors license to get a few side jobs in here, and so far I’m fixing stuff that was done wrong….lots of electrical crap…fixtures in soffits with no junction boxes, replaced a shower valve that the plumber sweated fittings to a threaded valve because with the threaded adapters the valve wouldn’t fit….I used to self perform kitchen remodels and I’m a construction management grad

MEP plans typically aren’t that detailed….you need the builder to incorporate what you want into the work scope unless you can get the architect to add the details when he draws it up…..the problem is the builder will likely ignore the details and again have his shitty MEP contractors do it their shitty way…you might need an owner’s rep or you GC it yourself

From what I’m seeing around here a builder is going to hire his shitty MEP contractors and let them do what they do. You will have to specify what you want or have an owners rep beating him up for you.
