For all you slamming flex, welcome to the 21st century. Your ignorance is showing in your comments and will be showing up in your pocketbooks. Pricing a job like this one with metal/spiral/square is going to price you out of work. Short runs in residential applications like these are mostly 10'-25' long and resistance isn't an issue until you start pushing 100'. I've done it all and some jobs just don't need metal. Like hvac55artie says thanks for the work. BTW, that isn't a mixing box.
°I can not get over about all these comments about poor quality, ripoffs, and hacks. This tells me most of you don't have a clue. And that is one thing that is wrong with this trade........ But I want to thank you (you know who you are) for all the extra work! I am not sayin this is the best work I have ever seen but I know this is not hackish. With new houses 80%-90% of the time price sells. It could even be a spec house. Hard to tell. Loo at whats important, unit sizing, duct sizing ect. :-)°
This is poor quality work!! I would not pay the contractor. All that flex is junk. I see no metal plenum or hard pipe. This is why we should have sheet metal inspectors and be licensed to install ductwork. Nice way to rip off the customers.
ok afew things hows about gettin out the "hand -seemers/duckbill-VISE grips and turnin a 1 half inch flange on all your cans,,,, then install them. At 0:26 looks like you got 5/8's to 3/4's inch exposed below the bottom of joist ,,,,,, i know you probably don't care but the sheetrock is goin to give you problems (not-goood-fit), just turn flanges and you will have a squared, installed can or better yet ,,,ever heard of plaster stop?
Normally 6 feet is the max they allow in commercial applications. But in a house you're probably ok because you're not running a lot of cfm's to the grille. As long as the flex isn't choked off who cares.

I have not seen a set of plans in years that calls for sheet metal duct work in a home.

What a hack job. Use round pipe quick taking the easy way out. To much air is restricted with flex. HACK
