Outlet pipework / drainage for new build

joeyanne

Hi there,

Looking some advice. We have started our new build and are very lucky to have a local retired digger man who has basically taken on with project managing for us. He dug out our site, poured our foundations. And now without us asking, after dead building, has taken on with putting in our outlet drainage and radon pipes. Unfortunately he put the kitchen outlet pipes in and didn't consult us before - he put them as per drawing, but this isn't what we wanted. The outlet pipe for our sink etc is now directly under my lovely corner window which I wanted to have clean and without anything in front.

My question is - is it a big job to run pipework once this is already in place? Or should we change now?

change it now, i'm assuming footings haven't been backfilled and subfloors are not poured, should be easy alter now

Footings have been backfilled. All done in a day before we knew he was going ahead with it

still no big deal, do it now, it'll never be right otherwise, and build to plans in future or else update them

Usually when plans are being produced, kitchens and placing of sinks aren't decided on..

of course they are, certainly sinks anyway
