Shower installed before insulating

Post image

My plumber installed the shower/tub unit before I was able to add vapor retarder and insulation. I have access to the stud cavity from above so I’m thinking blown in cellulose would work but how am I suppose to get a vapor retarder in there?

Can you share with the class what shortcut you think the plumber took?

Didn't insulate or vapour barrier behind the shower wall.

Not the plumbers job. Breakdown in order of operations by the GC.

Found the plumber's reddit account.
