Rough in for the built-in Vacuum System should be installed when the house is being built, as it is less expensive at this stage.

All insulation other than blown insulation can be installed at this point. Drywall should be installed once insulation is done. Ploy Vapor is inserted between the drywall and insulation and sealed around outlets like doors and windows. Once insulation is installed, the Insulation Inspector from City Hall will inspect it.
