        "text": "You should frame a basement ceiling after all overhead plumbing, HVAC ductwork, electrical wiring, and low-voltage lines are roughed in and checked. Framing before utilities are routed forces trades to work around joist strapping or box framing, which can lead to cut wood or compromised clearances. Once sub-trades finalize pipe runs, test for plumbing leaks, and set recessed lighting rough-in boxes, framing or furring can go up cleanly. Doing this sequence correctly ensures you build soffits to the exact dimensions necessary without wasting overhead headroom.",
