We found, unfortunately that the systems people seem to have come in later after the architects were finished and applied their pipes, etc. on top of what was previously designed. The sprinkler pipes, huge ones, in the basement block the HVAC unit rather strangely. You have to reach around them. Two sewage ejector pumps were installed in basements that people had planned to use as living space. In the attic we discovered that the electricians had strung wires over the flexible air ducts and then pulled them tight, closing off the air ducts. The air duct people knew their ducts worked with they left. The electrical wires worked when the electricians left. But later…... Designing living spaces, particularly multiunit spaces is very complicated with layers and layers of just plain stuff to be put somewhere.
