On plumbing, the price comes from the number of connections and outlets, not from metres of pipe — which is why two bathrooms of the same size can differ twofold.

Sections

Strip-out; supply pipework in linear metres by diameter and material, with manifold, isolation valves and the meter set; waste pipework with stack connections and falls; connections counted per fixture; chasing and core drilling; waterproofing to wet areas as its own line, never "included"; fixture installation per unit; pressure and flow testing before the walls are closed; and fittings and brackets priced separately from pipe.

Waterproofing is where saving money comes back a year later. If the client wants it out, record in the estimate that it was excluded at their request.

Say what happens to the walls

State what is included — pipework, connections, testing — and what is not: filling chases, plasterboard boxing, tiling, access hatch finishing. That boundary is the usual source of disputes with the finishing crew.

See the estimate template and the apartment renovation estimate.

Frequently asked questions

What drives the price?

The number of connections and outlets, not metres of pipe — price each fixture as its own line.

Is waterproofing a separate line?

Yes, in m² with corner tapes and the drain. If the client removes it, record that it was excluded at their request.

When is pressure testing done?

Before walls and floors are closed — fixing a leak after tiling costs many times more.
