Exposed plumbing on hot tub after gunite

[Lilbub]

Hey Y’all! So great to meet you! It’s been a joy getting to be connected in this community and learning from each of you. My husband and I are building our first pool! We are so excited.

Today, our PB’s team came in to dig the trench to install plumbing and removed the peg board from around the gunite shell. When they removed the pegboard around our spa, there was plumbing exposed that I THINK (I have no actual idea) was supposed to be inside the spa walls. Is this something I should be worried about? I’ll attach a picture below!

Thank you all so much!

Yea, I’d be worried.

What’s going to be installed on the outer face of the spa?

It is going to be faux stacked stone!

Typically all the plumbing is incased within the Shotcrete, structural integrity is not compromised in my opinion from the picture shown.
One concern you may have is having the substrate for the stacked stone adhering to the PVC that’s exposed. Inquire from the builder how this will be maintained.
