Looks good brother. Was that transite flue pipe in the first picture? I've only seen that stuff once, seems like you see it all the time!

whats the point off all the foil tape.... it looks like hell.... a proper sheet metal joint requires zero foil tape..... i don't get it.....
Are you having massive coil problems with the 410a coils? The company I worked for used to install the most 17-18 SEER 2 Speed HP's in south central Texas, but our failure rate is nearly 80%!
If our guys set that unit that close to the wall they would be fired in a second. The lead installer shouldn't of let that happen. If he doesn't get fired I would definetly make him pump the unit down and reinstall it away from themwall so it can be serviced. Have him do it of course on his own time without pay....

International Residential Code section M1307.2. Outdoor installations require a stable and secure installation...

yep not bad..... i agree condensing unit a foot to close to wall....
looks pretty good. could you not put the outdoor unit so close to the wall? what if you had to take the side grate off to clean it or something....it would be PITA
You may consider have your guys insulate the external valve. I know its not near as humid over there but it might sweat. Also do a little better on bulb insulation as it looks like it may also sweat a little.
Tape between filter and furnace and coil and furnace! We use foam tape, keep it in several widths and thicknesses. What is the point of the trap?
