New Build Frequently Asked Questions
How much does new build plumbing cost in Wellington?
The cost of new build plumbing in Wellington depends on the size of the project, the number of bathrooms and kitchens, the type of fixtures you choose, and how complex the drainage and pipe runs are. A simple new house will cost less than a multi-unit townhouse development or large sub division. At Plumbspec, we give clear, no-surprise quotes and can work with your budget and plans so you know exactly what’s included from day one.
What plumbing services does Plumbspec offer for New Builds and Townhouse Developments?
Plumbspec provides full plumbing installations for new houses, townhouses, and larger housing developments in Wellington. That includes pipework, hot and cold water, waste and stormwater, fixture fit off, backflow, and any associated gas work. As experienced new build plumbing contractors, we can also support with design input, council requirements, and practical on-site problem solving. From slab to sign-off, our new build plumbers stay with your project right through.
Do you only work on residential new builds, or commercial as well?
We do both. Our team is experienced in residential and commercial plumbing, which means we can handle stand-alone homes, townhouse blocks, mixed-use buildings, and small commercial spaces within a development. If you’re a builder or developer with a mix of units, shops, or offices, we can provide a single, coordinated plumbing team across the entire site, rather than you juggling multiple contractors.
Why should I trust Plumbspec with my new build plumbing project?
Plumbspec is a 3rd-generation, family-owned company with over 40 years’ experience and a strong reputation across Wellington. We’re proud Master Plumbers, with certifying plumbers and gasfitters leading every job. As housing development plumbers, we know our work reflects your brand as well as ours, so we focus on tidy, reliable installations, honest communication, and turning up when we say we will. A lot of our work comes from repeat builders and word of mouth, which is exactly how we like it.
Do you work on townhouse developments and sub divisions?
Yes, that’s one of our specialties. We regularly provide new build plumbers for multi-unit townhouse projects and full sub division stages. These jobs often involve shared services, tight access, and staged inspections, which our team is very used to. As experienced townhouse plumbers and new build plumbing contractors, we help you plan the sequencing, coordinate with other trades, and keep everything moving so inspections and handovers stay on schedule.
How early should I bring a new build plumber into the project?
The earlier, the better. Ideally, you’d involve us while plans are still being finalised so we can give practical input on layouts, pipe runs, plant locations, and drainage solutions. Our design support through PipeSpec can help avoid clashes, rework, and unexpected costs later. Getting your new build plumbing thought through before the slab goes down is one of the easiest ways to keep your Wellington project running smoothly.
Do you service all areas for new build plumbing in Wellington?
Yes, we offer new build plumbing Wellington wide. Our team works across Wellington City, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt, Porirua, and the Kapiti Coast. Whether it’s a single new house on a tricky hill site or a staged housing development in Wellington, we can put a crew on it. If you’re not sure whether your site is within our usual range, just give us a call and we’ll let you know how we can help.
What’s the difference between using Plumbspec and a general plumber for a new build?
Any good plumber can fix a leaking tap, but new build plumbing is a different game. It’s about staging, inspections, council expectations, and fitting into a tight construction programme. As dedicated new build plumbers and plumbing contractors, we’re used to coordinating with site managers, dealing with other trades, and keeping the job flowing. We also bring design support, as-built documentation, and that extra layer of accountability you want on a development.
What’s included in a typical new build plumbing installation?
A standard new build plumbing package usually covers mains connection, hot and cold water pipework, waste and vent systems, stormwater connections, fixture installs (toilets, basins, showers, baths, kitchen and laundry fittings), and testing and commissioning. For housing developments in Wellington, it may also include shared services, pump systems, or detention/retention solutions. We’ll walk you through exactly what’s included in your quote so there’s no grey area between us, you, and your client.
How do I get a quote for new build plumbing or a townhouse development?
Getting started is simple. You can email us your plans or give us a call on 0800 232 650 to talk through your project. From there, we’ll review the drawings, ask any key questions, and provide a detailed quote for the new build plumbing scope. If needed, we can meet on site to go over access and staging. Whether it’s a single new house or a full townhouse development, we’ll give you clear pricing and realistic timeframes so you can plan with confidence.
We would love to hear from you!
