Bottom plate layout (2X4's) and hydronic pipes over basement that will receive 1 1/2" concrete over pour. Carpenter not available so Brody and I place all of it. The bottom plates of the interior walls over the basement will sit on these 2X4's. Place poly down (as per advise from someone at a Canadian hydronic heating association). This will keep the concrete off the plywood (so it won't rot the wood) and will also let the concrete and wood move on their own (i.e., they move at different rates) hopefully minimizing cracking. I also covered all of the bottom plates with poly and or tape so no concrete will touch it as I did not use pressure treated wood. The 12 1/2" circles in the middle are for the holes for the composting toilet 12" pipes and the rectangular holes on the right on either side of the shower are for the HRV ducts. The plywood on the left is for the hydronic header and will be under the stairs. Plumber recommended putting headers for greenhouse and house in here (i.e., I was originally going to have the header (as per the mechanical design) for the greenhouse in the greenhouse. Also header for garage will be in basement (not the garage as per the original design).
