Installation Options and Build Phases
We support residential and commercial new builds with organized, multi-phase plumbing installations designed around your architectural blueprints and construction schedule.
Groundwork and Under-Slab Rough-Ins
Excavating and setting heavy-duty sanitary drainage lines, primary building traps, and water service sleeve penetrations before concrete slabs are poured.
Structural Framing Top-Outs
Routing dedicated PEX supply lines, DWV (drain-waste-vent) stacks, and mechanical line drops through structural stud walls and floor joists.
Mechanical Utility Connections
Installing exterior utility tie-ins, primary main shutoff manifolds, and pressure-reducing assemblies to prepare the structure for municipal connection.
Gas Distribution Layouts
Designing and testing dedicated black iron and approved gas distribution runs for water heaters, furnaces, ranges, and exterior hookups.
Fixture Trim-Out and Setting
Precision installation of designer bathroom vanities, kitchen sinks, shower valves, commercial toilets, and exterior frost-free spigots.
System Commissioning and Testing
Conducting full-pressure hydrostatic tests on water lines and peppermint or smoke tests on venting stacks to certify structural seal integrity.

Our Four-Step Construction Process
Blueprint Review and Material Takeoff
We evaluate architectural schematics and load calculations to formulate an accurate, code-compliant plumbing layout and clear flat-rate bid.
Under-Slab Rough-In Phase
Our technicians trench, set, and secure subterranean drain and water lines with laser-verified slopes before foundation pouring.
Framing Top-Out and Rough-In Inspection
We run supply lines, venting pipes, and appliance drops through framed walls and schedule required municipal code inspections.
Final Trim and System Verification
After interior finishes are installed, we set all fixtures, pressurize every line, test operational drainage, and certify the entire system.

How Early Should You Engage a Master Plumber?
Involving a licensed plumbing contractor during the preliminary architectural and foundation design stages prevents costly engineering revisions and layout conflicts later. Early coordination ensures optimal slab penetrations, proper venting clearances, and correct utility sizing before excavation begins.

Frequently Asked Questions
When during the build schedule should the plumbing groundwork begin?
Plumbing groundwork begins immediately after the building pad is graded and footing forms are set, right before the concrete foundation is poured. Completing under-slab rough-ins at this stage ensures all drain, sewer, and primary supply sleeves are locked securely into place.
Do you pull all necessary city and state plumbing permits?
Yes, all permitting, code compliance documentation, and inspection scheduling are handled directly under Texas Master Plumber License M-46345. We coordinate closely with local building inspectors to ensure every construction phase passes review without delays.
Can you rough-in plumbing for modern tankless water heating systems?
Yes, we design supply layouts specifically optimized for tankless systems, including appropriately sized gas supply drops, dedicated electrical connections, and proper direct-vent pathways. This ensures your tankless unit provides uninterrupted hot water without volume drops.
How do you handle warranty coverage on new construction installations?
We back our new construction rough-in and trim craftsmanship with dedicated workmanship warranties, in addition to passing along all manufacturer warranties for installed fixtures and equipment. We ensure your newly constructed property meets high standards of reliability from day one.
Can you accommodate custom architectural fixture layouts?
Yes, we routinely install high-end architectural fixtures, including freestanding soaking tubs, multi-head walk-in showers, and custom commercial kitchen stations. We verify manufacturer rough-in specifications well in advance to guarantee an exact fit during final trim.
