New Construction Plumbing FAQs
A professional plumbing crew typically completes a rough-in for a standard 2,000 sq. ft. home in 3 to 5 days. This includes the "slab-up" or "groundworks" (pipes under the foundation) and the "top-out" (piping inside the walls and venting through the roof). Delays usually stem from unscheduled inspections or changes to the architectural floor plan.
New construction is the ideal time to go tankless-- because the venting and gas lines (or high-amperage electric circuits) can be sized correctly during framing, and you avoid the high retrofit costs of converting from a traditional tank heater in older homes. Tankless units offer endless hot water and a longer lifespan (20 years vs. 10-12 for tanks), making them a high-value selling point for new homes.
The main shut-off valve should be in a highly accessible, insulated space (like a utility room or near the water heater), never hidden behind drywall or located in a hard-to-reach place. In colder climates, the valve must be protected from freezing. Labeling the shut-off valve clearly is "best practice" to prevent catastrophic water damage during future emergencies.
The top priorities in plumbing when building a new home are main shut-off accessibility, drain line venting, and future-proofing. Strategic planning includes grouping "wet rooms" (bathrooms, laundry, kitchen) to share walls, which reduces material costs and improves hot water delivery speed. Always plan for a "hot water recirculating loop" during the frame stage to ensure instant hot water at every tap.
