Who will be on your site
The two of us: Chris, a licensed plumber, and Blake, a third-year apprentice. We do the drainage, the rough-in and the fit-off on your job ourselves, so the person who set out your wastes is the one who connects the toilets to them, and any question on site goes to someone who was there at the last stage.
What we do on a new build
Rough-in
Water and waste pipes run through the frame and set out to your plans, so every fixture lands where the drawings put it.
Pressure testing
We test the water lines at rough-in, before the walls are lined, so a leaking joint is found while it's still easy to reach.
Hot water
The system on your plans, whether that's heat pump, solar, electric or gas, installed and set up before handover.
Fit-off
Toilets, basins, sinks, showers, tapware and appliance connections, once the tiling, cabinets and painting are done.
Water filtration
If the owners want filtered water, we rough in for an under-sink filter at the kitchen or a whole-house filter, which usually sits near the water meter. It's far simpler now than after handover.
Inspections and paperwork
Plumbing on a new home is inspected at set stages, and we hand over the compliance documents at the end.
Keeping to your program
We give your supervisor a day and a time for rough-in, and we turn up when we said we'd be there. Tell us when the frame is up or the tiles are finished, and we'll give you a date for our next stage.

Drainage and rough-in
Sewer and stormwater go in before the slab, then water and waste through the frame, tested before the linings go on.
Fit-off
Once the tiling, cabinets and painting are done, we connect every fixture and appliance and test the lot.
Sign-off and handover
The hot water system is running, the final plumbing inspection is passed, and the compliance paperwork is with you.
What new home plumbing costs
New home plumbing is usually priced from the plans. The main things that set the price are the number of bathrooms and fixtures, how far the drainage has to run from the house to the sewer and stormwater connections, and the type of hot water system.
The block matters too. A sloping site, rock or a long setback from the street all make the drainage harder. A double storey home needs more pipe and more time than a single storey home of the same size. Extras such as water filtration or a second hot water system add to it.
Changes to the plans after rough-in, like moving a vanity or adding an outdoor shower, usually cost extra as a variation.
Reviews from our customers
Chris responded promptly to our initial enquiry, arranging an inspection, followed by a quote and promptly completed the storm water drainage needed. He listened to our description of the problem, checked the existing system, proposed a strategy to solve the issue and coordinated a digger for the trench. The recent storm displayed a very successful system! Chris is friendly and professional.
Chris has very high standards is very friendly and helpful. His work is professional, his attitude is engaging, very well dressed and all in all a great tradesman Regards. Neil and Chrissy.

Where we plumb new homes
We plumb new builds right along the Coast, from Caloundra and Pelican Waters up to Noosa Heads, and in the hinterland estates.
Common questions
At least three times. First for the drainage, before the slab is poured. Then for rough-in, once the frame is up and before the walls are lined. Then for fit-off, after the tiling, cabinets and painting. The hot water system usually goes in near the end, before the final inspection.
Yes. The plumbing on a new home has to be inspected and signed off at set stages before the house can be finished. We give you the compliance paperwork at the end, so it's ready when your building certifier asks for it.
The plans, and the fixture schedule with the model of each toilet, basin, mixer and sink. We also need the position of anything that uses water, like the fridge, dishwasher and outdoor taps. With those, the pipes come out of the wall in the right place first time.
Yes, and it's the easiest time to do it. For an under-sink filter, we run the pipe and leave room for it in the kitchen cupboard. A whole-house filter usually goes near the water meter, where the main line enters the house, so it needs a spot planned for it on the plans.
