Key Takeaways
  • Published ranges put new home plumbing at roughly $600 to $1,600 per fixture, or about $4.50 per square foot for rough-in.
  • A full single-family system commonly totals $8,000 to $12,000 across all three phases.
  • Fixture count drives the price more than square footage does.
  • Slab-on-grade construction, local permitting and material choice decide where in that published range a Hollywood job lands.
  • Taft Plumbing Services quotes upfront with no hidden fees after walking the plans and the site.

What those published ranges actually cover

New construction plumbing is not a single line item. It covers the underground rough-in that goes in before the slab is poured, the top-out inside the framed walls, and the trim-out when fixtures are set and tested.

When cost guides from Angi and HomeAdvisor publish a whole-house figure, they are generally describing all three phases on a standard single-family home, including:

  • Water supply lines run to every fixture location
  • Drain, waste and vent piping plus the connection point to the sewer
  • Water heater rough-in and installation
  • Fixture setting for sinks, toilets, tubs, showers and laundry hookups
  • Pressure testing and inspection at each phase

What those ranges usually do not include is the cost of the fixtures themselves. A builder-grade toilet and a designer freestanding tub take similar labor but very different material money, which is why two homes of the same size can quote thousands apart.

The three ways the job gets priced

  1. Per fixture. The most common and most accurate method once plans are final. Count every sink, toilet, tub, shower, washer box, hose bib and water heater connection, then apply the roughly $600 to $1,600 per fixture range published by Angi.
  2. Per square foot. The quick budgeting shortcut, around $4.50 per square foot for rough-in. It is useful for an early budget and less reliable once the real floor plan exists.
  3. Per phase. Underground, top-out and trim-out are priced and billed as separate fixed scopes, which lines up cleanly with a construction draw schedule.

Fixture count beats square footage every time. An 1,800 square foot home with three full baths and an outdoor sink will cost more to plumb than a 2,600 square foot home with two baths and a simple layout.

What moves the number inside that range in Hollywood

Local conditions do not create a separate price list. They decide where in the published range your project lands.

  • Slab-on-grade construction. Most Hollywood homes sit on a slab, so drain lines have to be located, tested and inspected before the pour. Moving them later means cutting concrete.
  • Permits and inspections. New construction plumbing is permitted and inspected through the City of Hollywood, and inspection scheduling costs labor days on site, not just paperwork.
  • Florida Building Code details. Venting, cleanout placement and fixture clearances are code-driven, so they are not line items you can value-engineer away.
  • Site conditions. South Florida's high water table can slow trenching on some lots.
  • Material choice. PEX, CPVC and copper supply lines carry different material costs and different labor hours.
  • Working inside an existing structure. Additions and gut remodels usually cost more per fixture than open new construction because access is tighter.

Rough-in versus trim-out: when you actually pay

Phase 1 - underground. Drain and sewer lines go in before the slab, get pressure tested and get inspected. This is the phase that is expensive to redo.

Phase 2 - top-out. Supply and vent piping goes in once the home is framed, before drywall, and is tested and inspected again.

Phase 3 - trim-out. Fixtures are set and commissioned at the finish stage, including toilet installation, garbage disposal installation and the water heater hookup. Our new construction plumbing in Hollywood page lays out the scope we handle from underground through final inspection.

⚠ When to Call a Pro: Under-slab plumbing is the one part of a build you cannot easily fix later. If the drain layout has not been checked against the final floor plan, if a line will not hold a pressure test, or if an inspector flags venting or cleanout placement, stop before the pour and bring in a licensed plumber. Cutting concrete, repiping and re-inspecting costs far more than getting the rough-in right the first time. Taft Plumbing Services is licensed and insured - call (954) 288-1485.

Commercial new construction and tenant build-outs

Commercial work generally runs higher per fixture than residential. Required fixture counts are set by occupancy, pipe sizing is larger, accessibility clearances are tighter, and inspection requirements are more involved.

If you are building out a storefront, office suite or restaurant space, our commercial plumbing in Hollywood team quotes the job from the approved plan set rather than a per square foot estimate.

How to compare two plumbing bids

  • Check that the bid lists the fixture count it was priced from.
  • Confirm who pulls the permit and who meets the inspector.
  • Ask whether fixtures are supplied or allowance-based.
  • Make sure all three phases are in the number, not just the rough-in.
  • Get it in writing. A verbal number is not a quote.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does new construction plumbing cost per fixture in Hollywood?

Angi's cost guide puts new construction plumbing at roughly $600 to $1,600 per fixture, and that is the range most Hollywood homes fall into. Taft Plumbing Services confirms your exact number with an upfront written quote.

Does a new construction plumbing quote include the fixtures?

Usually not. Published ranges cover labor, piping and installation, while toilets, sinks, tubs and faucets are typically handled as a separate material allowance.

Payment normally follows the three build phases: underground before the slab pour, top-out after framing, and trim-out when fixtures are set. That schedule lines up with standard construction draws.

Is commercial new construction plumbing more expensive than residential?

Per fixture, it generally is. Occupancy-based fixture counts, larger pipe sizing and tighter accessibility clearances all add scope to a commercial build-out.

Do I need a permit for new construction plumbing in Hollywood?

Yes. New construction plumbing is permitted and inspected locally, and a licensed plumber should pull the permit and meet the inspector at each phase.
