Reply to comment by auvovo in LPT: If you're buying a house still under construction, photograph everything before the sheetrock goes up. Knowing exactly where the pipes, wires, and ducts are may prove invaluable some day, and even if you never use them the next owner will appreciate it. by Needleroozer

The company I used to work for did this. We gave them multiple sets of blueprints and made a binder for the buyers with paired elevations and photos for each wall, notes about carpet, paint and tile selections, and all the manuals and warranty information for installed electronics and appliances organized by room.

This is a better idea than the banker’s box I have with all that paperwork just crammed in. Previous owner of my house was a bit of a donkey, so guess I should be glad they had any docs at all, as literally every renovation project I’ve started since purchase has uncovered something wonky and half assed.

That's what good contractors do. Unfortunately not all contractors are good contractors.
