I would call in a builder or two and get them to quote for the job, and at the same time ask them what would need to be done, and how long it will take to complete. Then ask yourself if it would be better alround to employ the builder or do it yourselves..........????
Oh dear. Looks like your friend is acting as his / her own GC and this is a rookie mistake, yet this is how one learns. All fixable. Hopefully they are following local building codes and permits have been pulled?
The plumber can and should do all necessary work to install the plumbing - this is what they do. Be absolutely certain that the plumbing is properly insulated to avoid freezing in winter. The building inspector should catch any errors and must be brought to code before he or she signs off on this portion of the project.
What concerns me is that they state the electrical is done. Was that installed to code and inspected? From the information provided, this appears to be unclear. Since this is a permanent and stationary structure, any insurer is going to require a certificate of habitability before issuing a policy for the structure or property. Did they take out a construction policy?
