Hello,
I am currently building a house and the plumbing is going in. I wanted to get plumbers opinions on whether or not it takes significantly more time to running supply lines "between the joists" (I-JOISTS) as opposed to attaching the supply lines to the bottom chord of the i-joists. I have been informed by my GC that this is going to take alot more labor and a little more expense on materials because the clamps that he would use if he runs the supply lines on the bottom are cheaper that the clamps he would use if he attaches the lines to the side of the I-JOIST. I have been informed that he estimates it is taking at least 2 men, 2 full days worth of labor extra to run the lines up between the joices. I personally cannot fathom that it takes that much extra labor to do this, but I would like to get some plumbers opinions to see if I am in the wrong.
Thanks for any input anyone can give............
