My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    The bathroom is in a basement sitting on solid concrete with no subfloor. The home owner had to create room for the P-trap. The platform was the solution. Thanks for your question!

      Is there some kind of finish on the corrugated metal to keep it from rusting?

      The metal is galvanized. It won't rust.
