✅ The Ultimate Home Building Checklist at BuilderBrigade.com
Blocking is wood framed between the studs behind towel bars, toilet paper holders, and grab bars. The screws bite into solid wood, so nothing pulls out of the wall. Take photos so you know where it is later after sheetrock is installed.
Electrical is the one you can’t add later (at least not easily). Anything hardwired gets run while the walls are open. A bidet outlet next to the toilet costs almost nothing now, even if you never use it.
Pick your shower niche size and spot early. Line it up with the tile layout so you don’t end up with skinny cut pieces around it.
If the washer and dryer are in the closet, ask for a recessed dryer vent box. The dryer sits back against the wall instead of sticking out.
Small stuff like this is easy to miss. I keep all of it in my checklist. It’s there if you need it.

Hardwire a fan by the makeup mirror. Nothing worse than sweating from a hot shower while putting on makeup and drying and styling hair with hot tools.

Jayla :
In my opinion, I would not put a washer and dryer in my closet again! My closet stays a mess because of the washer and dryer. It takes up space, there’s nowhere to hang the clothes when I get them out, and if I wash other people’s clothes, they wind up piled in my closet. Focus on a beautiful, functional laundry room, but don’t put your washer and dryer in a closet!

Why didn't they put that niche a foot higher or better yet twice as tall with a shelf?

Bidet outlets are mandatory. I wasn’t a fan until I tried one and now I wouldn’t live without one.

Summer :
1. Shower is level with the floor. No threshold. 2. Neeeeeeeesh…not nitch. 3. Washer and dryer only in a one floor, never on second floor—high risk of flood!

Rebecca Terry :
Also outlets in the closet!! My walk in doesn’t have a single outlet so I have to steam my clothes or iron them in the bathroom, it’s not huge but it is annoying.

I want the shower nozzle somewhere close to the shower door so I don't get hit with ice cold water when I turn on the shower.

Have doors wide enough on the main floor for wheelchair-using family members and friends who need accessibility. Parents and grandparents need those doors as they age. Who knows, you made need access yourself one day.
