Rough-in work, done right, before the walls close up.
Rough-in is the stage before walls close. All the pipes, wires, and ducts that need to go inside the walls get installed first, then inspected, then walls are closed with drywall. After rough-in comes finish MEP — outlets, switches, faucets, registers — but that happens after drywall.
Water supply lines (hot and cold), drain lines, vent stacks. From the main or septic through walls and ceilings. Ready for inspections and drywall.
Electrical panel work, circuits, breakers, wire runs, outlet boxes. Everything that needs to run inside walls. Code-compliant and inspected.
Ductwork rough-in, equipment rough positioning, venting. Ready for drywall to close everything.
MEP almost always requires permits in Minneapolis. New plumbing, new electrical circuits, HVAC changes — these are inspected by the city. We pull the permits, coordinate inspections, and get sign-off from the inspector. It slows the project down a bit, but it's the right way to do it.
