Plumbing Materials

Pipes, fittings and fixtures that carry water supply and drainage through the building.

Used for

  • Water supply lines
  • Drainage and sewer lines
  • Bathroom and kitchen fixtures

Quality considerations

  • Use pipe classes rated for their specific use (pressure water supply vs. gravity drainage) rather than a single generic pipe type.
  • Pressure-test supply lines before walls and floors are closed up, to catch leaks while they're still cheap to fix.

Common mistakes

  • • Closing up walls/floors before pressure-testing plumbing lines.

Priced per metre for pipe, per unit for fittings and fixtures; fixture quality varies widely in price.
