        "text": "Appliance hookups should be coordinated during the rough-in mechanical phase, long before cabinets and countertops are set. While final physical connections happen after finish carpentry and countertops are complete, the utility locations must be locked in during framing. If you wait until appliances are delivered, you risk missing dedicated 240V circuits for ranges or incorrectly placed water supply valves behind dishwashers and refrigerators. Early coordination allows rough plumbing and wiring to be inspected before drywall goes up.",
