I would say this is how they intend to leave it. Its not temporary.

Looking at your picture, the waste drains from right to left. You waste
exits below the slab or right at the base of the wall, bottom left of
picture.
I think I would prefer to have it run down the right side wall, to a level
that would allow clearance below your main electric panel, follow the right
wall then turn and follow the left wall to the drain.

I cant tell what that white vertical pipe to the left of the window is. That
could have been what kept them off the wall.

I recently put an offer on a house that has a full basement. The
attractive thing about the house is I can increase the squarefootage in
the future by finishing the basement.

The builder just recently had the plumbing installed, and it looks like
this:

I'm not sure if he's going to leave it like this, or put it more flush
against the floor joists once he puts the duct work in. Does this look
like a common way for finished plumbing to hang? It looks temporary to
me, but all the pipe has a blue supstance on it like it's in the
finishing statges. Let me know what you opinions are. Below is a
picture of a house exactly like out house, but the plumbing is done a
little differently, probably the way it should be:

Here's a link to the pics I've taken so far of the house:

Let me know what you think.
