PSA: A framer in Tucson told me he sees 2 or 3 builds a year where the slab was poured before the plumbing rough-in was checked, and it costs folks $4k to $6k to fix

Whoa, 2 or 3 builds a year just in Tucson? That makes me wonder how many framers across the country are seeing the same thing. Here is what I want to know though: when the slab gets poured too early, who usually eats that $4k to $6k bill? Does the homeowner get stuck holding the bag, or does the framer or the plumber end up covering it? And how does the money even get spent, is it mostly jackhammering up the slab and redoing the pipes, or is there more to it? Feels like somebody should be on the hook for skipping that inspection.
