Basement bath tub rough in by Builder

Tags: Basement & Foundation
Hi,

I was wondering if builders install p-traps for bath rough-ins in unfinished basements (whether it's the norm or if some builders skip it). I'm starting to finish the basement and I cannot see the p-trap.

I do not consider that to be common.

My contractor already put the tub in and just attached the plumbings to the existing rough-ins.

Since we can't see the p-trap, we would have to take the tub out, cut the concrete more to see if there's an existing p-trap......
