Our Step-by-Step Plumbing Package for New Builds
Our process ensures your new build plumbing is done right from the ground up. Here’s how we manage each stage with care and precision.
1. Initial Consultation
We review your building plans and assess site conditions to ensure everything lines up from the start. If needed, we’ll visit the site to confirm access, layout and service requirements.
2. Quote & Layout Input
You’ll receive a detailed, fixed-price quote with clear inclusions and timelines. We also provide layout advice to help position plumbing points for function and compliance.
3. Drainage Stage
We install all under-slab and in-ground drainage with full attention to levels and council requirements.
4. Rough-In
We run all necessary pipework for water, gas and waste through wall and ceiling cavities. Everything is pressure tested and placed to match your fixture layout.
5. Fit-Off
We install all plumbing fixtures, including tapware, toilets, vanities and hot water systems. Each item is tested and ready for client walkthrough or handover.
6. Final Checks & Certification
We conduct a full inspection to ensure the system meets code and performs as expected. We submit all Form 4s and finalise documentation for council or certifier approval.
System Lifespan & Maintenance Frequency
Regular maintenance keeps your plumbing system in top condition and helps avoid costly repairs down the track. It also ensures your setup stays compliant with QBCC and local council standards.
Annual Inspections
A yearly check can catch leaks, corrosion or wear before they become costly repairs. It’s a simple way to stay ahead of issues and keep your warranty valid.
Hot Water Servicing
Hot water systems and essential parts need regular servicing to work efficiently and last longer. We recommend a schedule based on usage and system type.
Why it matters:
Avoiding breakdowns helps cut costs and keeps your home or project running smoothly. Ongoing maintenance also helps meet legal requirements and extends the life of your plumbing.
Common Causes of Problems With New Home Plumbing in the Sunshine Coast
Plumbing problems in new homes often come from poor planning or cutting corners. Avoiding these common mistakes helps keep your project on track and fully compliant.
Poor Planning
When plumbing isn’t mapped out early, trades clash and timelines blow out. A lack of coordination can lead to rework, extra costs and avoidable headaches.
Non-Compliance
Missing Form 4s or using incorrect pipe types can stall inspections and final handover. Staying on top of QBCC and council standards is essential from day one.
Substandard Materials
Low-quality fittings might save money upfront, but often fail within months. We only install fixtures that meet Australian standards and hold up over time.
Inadequate Testing
Skipping pressure or leak tests can result in hidden issues post-handover. We thoroughly test all installations to avoid future faults and warranty claims.
Signs Your New Build Plumbing Might Be Off Track
Small problems during a build can lead to bigger plumbing issues. Watch for these red flags to avoid delays, extra costs or compliance setbacks.
Unexpected Delays in Plumbing Stages
If plumbing work is constantly pushed back, it’s often a sign of poor scheduling or missing information. Timely plumbing keeps your build flowing smoothly from slab to fit-off.
Communication Breakdowns Between Trades
When trades aren’t aligned, mistakes happen and timelines slip. Good plumbing coordination helps everyone stay on the same page.
Unclear or Missing Compliance Documentation
No Form 4? No sign-off? That’s a red flag. A reliable builder plumbing contractor ensures all paperwork is in place, so you stay compliant and avoid hold-ups.
Budget Overruns Due to Plumbing Changes
Constant variations or rework usually mean something wasn’t scoped properly. Accurate quoting and clear planning prevent nasty surprises.
Lack of Transparency in Quoting
If the plumbing quote is vague or full of allowances, costs will creep. A detailed, itemised quote sets clear expectations from the start.
