Renovations

Plan the plumbing before you choose the tile.

The best renovations settle the plumbing decisions early. Build a brief below, then bring it to a planning meeting.

Behind the walls

Six phases, from drawings to handover.

    Planning

    Two to three weeks before demolition

    Fixture list confirmed, valve bodies ordered, drawings marked up with heights and centerlines.

  2. 02

    Demolition review

    Day of opening

    We walk the open walls with the contractor and flag anything that changes the plan.

  3. 03

    Rough-in

    Usually two to four days

    Supply, drain and vent installed to the drawings, then pressure-tested.

  4. 04

    Inspection

    Before insulation

    Town inspection, plus our own photo record of every wall before it closes.

  5. 05

    Trim

    After tile and stone

    Fixtures installed, set and tested. Protective film stays on until you say.

    Final visit

    Valves demonstrated, care notes for each finish, cartridge part numbers on file.
