New Home Plumbing FAQs
When does the plumber work during a new build?
Plumbers usually work in stages: underground drainage, rough in during frame and roof stages,
and final fit off near handover. Your builder and plumber will coordinate timing so work happens
in the right order.
Can I change plumbing locations after rough in?
Changes after rough in can be costly, as walls, floors or ceilings may need to be opened again.
It is best to finalise the layout before rough in and make only minor adjustments later if needed.
What information should I provide when posting a new home plumbing job?
Upload plans, elevations and any engineering details, and outline the number of bathrooms,
kitchens and wet areas. Note whether the builder has a standard specification or if you want
higher end fixtures and extras.
Can I supply my own fixtures?
Many plumbers are happy to install fixtures supplied by the owner, but they may have conditions
around warranty and quality. Confirm at the quoting stage whether you want supply and installation
or installation only.
