In detail
Rough-in is the stage nobody sees and everybody lives with. Outlet positions, waste falls, and the location of every point are fixed at this stage, and moving them later means opening a finished wall.
The work is sequenced around the other trades. Points go in before sheeting and waterproofing, the sewer extension is made good, and the fit-off happens once the room is finished so new tapware is not sitting through the dusty part of the build.
Kitchens and laundries get the same treatment: sink, tap and waste in, dishwasher and machine points set, and everything tested under pressure before it is boxed in.
From a completed job
Bathroom and laundry renovation completed, including new plumbing rough-in, sewer extension, and installation of a hot and cold outdoor mixing tap.
How a job runs
Four steps, start to finish
Tell us what is happening
A message with the suburb, the problem and a photo. Most jobs can be narrowed down to one or two likely causes before anyone gets in a van.
Looked at on site
Quotes get worked out against your actual setup, not a price list. What is behind the wall changes the job, so the job gets priced after someone has seen it.
Price agreed before work starts
The price is agreed up front. If something genuinely unexpected turns up once things are open, work stops and you get a message before it continues.
Installed, tested, commissioned
Pipework tested before it is covered, appliances checked running rather than just connected, and the site left clean. Captions on completed jobs regularly note testing and commissioning.

Questions
