What’s Involved in New Build Plumbing?
New build plumbing involves more than just running pipes and installing taps. It requires careful planning, technical knowledge and coordination with your building team to ensure everything is installed correctly, safely and in line with regulations. Getting it right from the start prevents costly repairs or upgrades later.
Services include:
- Full water supply system design and installation.
- Sewer and stormwater drainage setup.
- Plumbing rough-ins during early construction.
- Fit-off of taps, toilets, sinks and appliances.
- Installation of outdoor taps, irrigation outlets and hose connections.
- Compliance checks and council-ready documentation.
- Support for energy-efficient and water-saving product selection.
Each installation is tailored to your home’s layout, usage needs and long-term plans.
When should I involve a plumber in the new build process?
A plumber should be involved early in the building process, ideally during the planning and design phase. This ensures the layout of pipes, drainage and fixtures is considered alongside the construction schedule. Early involvement also helps avoid changes or costly fixes later. Your plumber will coordinate with other trades to ensure correct placements for walls, cabinetry and appliances. Rough-in stages usually begin after the slab and framing are complete, followed by fit-off after internal finishes. Starting early allows everything to be installed correctly, safely and in compliance with regulations.
What is a plumbing rough-in?
A plumbing rough-in is the stage where pipes for water supply and drainage are installed within the walls, floors and ceiling cavities before plastering or cladding. This includes setting up all behind-the-scenes connections for sinks, showers, toilets and appliances. The rough-in ensures the entire plumbing system is ready for fit-off once the home’s structure is complete. It is a crucial step that must meet building codes and allow for easy access during final installation. Proper rough-in work helps reduce the chance of leaks, misaligned fittings or future system failure once the home is complete.
Can I choose the fixtures and tapware for my new build?
Yes. Homeowners can choose their own tapware, sinks, toilets, showerheads and other fixtures. Your plumber can provide recommendations based on layout, water pressure and aesthetic preferences. Choosing quality fittings helps ensure performance, longevity and easier future maintenance. Keep in mind that some product choices may affect the plumbing layout or installation method, so it is best to make final decisions before the rough-in stage. If preferred, we can also supply products to match your budget and assist with water-saving or energy-efficient options suited to your home.
