Plumbing for new builds and additions — North Shore
Rough-in to finish. Inspected, signed off, ready to occupy.

Questions builders and homeowners ask about new construction plumbing
What are the stages of plumbing on a new build or addition?
- Underground rough-in: sanitary, storm and water service, before the slab is poured.
- Above-grade rough-in: drain, waste, vent and supply through the framing, before insulation and drywall.
- Fixture set and trim-out: fixtures, valves and appliances connected once cabinets and tile are in.
- Inspections at the stages the town requires, and sign-off before occupancy.
Each stage follows the building schedule, so the plumber needs to know the dates early.
What do I need to send for a new construction quote?
The plans (the plumbing or architectural set), the town, the target dates, the contractor's name and number, and whether the property is on municipal water and sewer. Shane quotes based on the scope. For work inside an existing house, see kitchen and bath remodel plumbing.
Does the plumber handle permits and inspections?
Yes. Shane pulls the plumbing permit with the town and coordinates the rough and final inspections. If your general contractor already handles permits, tell Shane when you request the quote so nothing is done twice.
For a faster quote. Send with your request: the plans, the town, your target dates, the general contractor's name and phone number, and whether the property has municipal water and sewer.
