rough in

**rough in**
*Description:*
The term “rough in” refers to the initial phase of construction or installation, where the basic framework or essential components-such as plumbing, electrical wiring, or framing-are put in place but not yet finished or covered. This stage ensures that all key systems are correctly positioned and ready for final inspection before the walls, floors, or ceilings are closed up. Used commonly in building trades, “rough in” tags help categorize content related to early-stage construction processes and preparatory work.
