Systems to check before closing the work
V14 connects envelope, air, fire, structure, water and code instead of treating each project in isolation.
Specialized systems to cross-check
V17 completes gas, soil, water, fire, climate and structural interfaces.
Specialized diagnostics to verify
V18 connects systems that become costly or regulated when a primary project triggers them.
Edge systems to integrate into the project
V19 covers interfaces that become important when multiple home systems interact.
Shared, access and specialized interfaces
V30 connects projects where multiple systems, owners or rules meet.
Use, excavation and construction constraints
V34 connects use permits, soil, excavation, neighbouring structures and public-space logistics before hard-to-reverse work.
