Top 5 risks to act on now (revised after builder rebuttal + drawings)

  1. R1 Budget gap (smaller than first framed). Builder's PEMB-efficient scenario credible; gap may be $300K not $700K. Get 2–3 line-item GC bids.
  2. R2 Island vent. 8' AFF capture confirmed and reasonable; Korean BBQ grease + make-up air remain real concerns. Mockup before signoff.
  3. NEW R21: Pier foundation × radiant assembly reconciliation. Time-critical before tubing layout.
  4. R10 + R11 (LDD-24 interlocks). Slab elevation across spine threshold + 85°F radiant cap.
  5. R12 ERV / balanced ventilation. Add LDD entry now.
