I hear you loud and clear....if they don't chair the wire it will be on the bottom.

At what stage do they give up and install anchor bolts?

The standard answer around here is, "Oh, we pick it up with the rakes as we go." Which gives them a convenient excuse to poke holes in the vapor barrier with the rakes, to let the water bleed out so the concrete will set up faster and they can go home earlier.
 
Are the H3 clips being used necessitating the use of toe-nailing the rafter to the top plate? Rafters, toe-nailed?
Is there a portal framing strap-tie anchor that can be cemented in the concrete block that allows the plates and wall studs to be anchored?
Is the double top plate joints overlapped at the corner?
Will coil strap over the header be added after the rough-in inspection?
Trusses designed for storage?
