2 way switch celiling fan wiring
I have new construction and am putting a ceiling fan into the bedroom with a wall switch on both sides of the bedroom. I want to have the light on the fan to be seperate from the fan itself so that I can turn on the light by the switch on both sides of the room and turn the fan on with the pull chain. I have done a lot of wiring but cannot remember how to wire this. Please refresh my memory.

You may not be able to do this with the wiring as it is now. Is this not yet built, or iis it already finished?
Please provide a complete inventory of the wiring in each switch box and at the ceiling fan box.

Does "I have new construction" mean that the house is still being constructed?
Here's one way, where "-" means 14/2 and "=" means 14/3. It's certainly not the only way to do this, but it is probably how I would do it (if I wanted what you want).
Power-S1=F and S1=S2.

At S1:
- Connect power cable black to fan cable black and to the common (black) screw on the switch (using a pigtail).
- Connect power cable white to fan cable white.
- Connect the red and white in the inter-switch cable to the two brass screws on the switch.
- Connect the black in the inter-switch cable to the fan cable red.
- Connect black to the common screw.
- Connect red and white to the two brass screws.
- Connect cable black to fan black.
- Connect cable red to fan blue.
- Connect white to white.
