Custom-home plumbing, Scottsdale

Plumbing, drawn before the walls go up

We plumb custom homes in Scottsdale and along the Camelback corridor from the architect's drawings. A riser diagram, a fixture schedule and a pressure plan go to the design team before rough-in, and are reissued when the drawings change.

Specification sheet

What an architect receives

Three sheets reach the design team before rough-in. Each is drawn for the house, not adapted from another one, and revised as the drawings are.

  • Two copper supply pipes running down an opened-up wall
    Sheet P-1

    Riser diagram

    Every supply and drain stack in one elevation: where it rises, what size it is and which floor it serves. Chases and shaft sizes are checked against the framing.

  • Brushed brass wall-mounted mixer valve with a slim lever on a pale wall
    Sheet P-2

    Fixture schedule

    Every fixture, valve and drain in the house, listed by room with the model you chose, its rough-in dimensions and its finish. Where a trim kit and a rough-in valve must match, the sheet says so.

  • Printed floor plan with a kitchen, a toilet and a bathtub drawn in
    Sheet P-3

    Pressure plan

    Static pressure at the meter, the regulator setting and the flow at the farthest outlet, with the pipe sizes that hold them. A body-spray shower and a pot filler should not starve each other.

Sheets are issued as PDFs. Each revision carries a date and a list of what changed.

Before rough-in

We read the whole house before we run a pipe

A custom home is plumbed once. A wrong stack or a clashing valve costs a wall opened after finish.

We start from the architect's set and the fixture selections, then walk the framing with the builder. Conflicts go on the sheets as questions with a sketch, and are settled before anyone cuts.

  • Stacks and chases checked against the structure

  • Valve and trim kits matched to the fixtures you chose

  • Pressure set for the longest run, not the nearest tap

  • Access panels placed where the architect agrees to see them

Sequence

From schematic design to final trim

Four stages, each with something the architect and builder can check.

  1. 01

    Step 1: Schematic review

    We read the plans and the fixture intent, then flag long runs, stacked baths and anything that wants a chase the structure does not have.

  2. 02

    Step 2: Design development

    Fixtures are chosen and the schedule is fixed. Sheets P-1 to P-3 go to the architect and the builder together.

  3. 03

    Step 3: Rough-in and pressure test

    Pipe is set to the sheets and photographed in the wall. The system is tested under pressure, and the city inspection is booked with the builder before the walls close.

  4. 04

    Step 4: Trim and commissioning

    Fixtures are set, each outlet is checked against the schedule, and the owner receives a one-page shutoff map with every valve labeled.

From design teams and owners

What they say about the sheets

“The fixture schedule matched our specification book line for line. The one conflict it raised, a drain under a niche, was settled on paper before the framers came.”

Lorenzo B.Architect

“I asked where every shutoff was and got a page with a picture of each one. Nothing else about the plumbing has needed my attention.”

Cynthia S.Homeowner

“They walked the framing with my superintendent and the pipe went where the drawing said. Rough-in passed inspection without a correction notice.”

Questions

Before you send the drawings

Do you work from the architect's drawings or from your own?

Both. We start from the architect's set and issue our own three sheets on top of it. Where ours differ from the architect's, the difference is listed as a question, not changed quietly.

When should we bring you in?

At design development, once the fixtures are being chosen. Earlier is better for long runs and stacked baths. After framing, we can still draw the sheets, but fewer conflicts are cheap to fix.

Do you take owner-supplied or designer-specified fixtures?

Yes. We check each fixture's rough-in data against the schedule before it ships, so a valve body is never set for the wrong trim.

How is the work priced?

From a written scope built on the drawings. The scope lists what is included and what is not, and a change to the drawings is a written change to the scope before the work is done.
