hmmmm..."met minimum requirement" sounds like a quality thing to me...


Not if fit and finish mean anything to you. You can meet code and have
a very ugly job.


Yes, but your sewer pipe will have a downhill grade, the electrical will be
safe, and your walls will support a snow load.

After that, it's up to the individual to select people who will give them
what they want aesthetically. Settling for less in fit and finish has
nothing to do with "codes".
