Plan a better solution. There are very few tub fillers designed to go in the slab. Why are you not having him do this at the outset? At least switch to a wall mount tub filler...

We keep trying to plan a better solution and they’re not open to it. What is the outset? I work in healthcare, I do not know anything about this sadly, which is why I reached out for some help. If we do a wall mount, do we not need a rough? That wall will be dry wall.

Why will they not install the tub and tub filler as part of the build? Inexperience?

Reasons given are it’s a custom request and supply issues/won’t order the rough. We will inquire about wall mount.

You need to get it done as part of the original build- wall mount tub fillers have a valve inside the wall (like a shower valve essentially) and of course a drain in the floor- wall mount is easier with a slab. No supply chain issue if you order and get delivered to the site. Who is designing/ planning the project?

Our builder does all planning, they’re a “production builder”. They’ve agreed to the drain in floor with our tub specs. Glad to hear salve valve more like a shower valve.

You’ve given us more confidence to make sure we aren’t left with a mess after closing!
