New Construction Plumbing in Nacogdoches County TX
Slab to Trim-Out, Done by the Same Master Plumber
New construction plumbing is a three-phase project: the slab plumbing that runs before the foundation is poured, the top-out inside the framed walls, and the trim-out that connects fixtures once the home is finished. Each phase has its own timing, its own inspection, and its own coordination demand on the builder’s schedule. Peace of Mind Plumbing handles all three phases of residential and commercial new construction across six East Texas counties. Texas Master Plumber RMP 41912 on every project, every phase.

A Plumbing Trade That Shows Up When the Schedule Says So
New construction runs on a schedule. The slab gets poured on a date, the framing crew has a window, the inspectors come on the days they come, and every trade has to hit its mark or the entire project slides. Plumbing is one of the trades that touches the schedule three separate times: before the slab pour, during the rough-in, and at the end during trim-out. A plumber who shows up late, fails inspection, or has to come back to fix something doesn’t just cost the builder a day. They cost the builder the next trade’s day too. With more than a million new privately-owned housing units started across the U.S. each year, builders need plumbing trades that hold to schedule across project after project.
Builders here need plumbing trades that understand the local code, work to schedule, pull permits cleanly, and pass inspection on the first try. We’ve worked on new construction projects across the region for decades, and we treat the builder’s schedule with the same seriousness we treat the homeowner’s water bill.

Builds We Handle
- Single-family residential new construction
New homes from spec builds to high-end custom construction. Slab plumbing, full top-out for supply, drain, vent, and gas lines, trim-out for all fixtures, and permit and inspection coordination throughout. We work with builders who run a steady project pipeline and with one-time homeowners building their first house.
- Commercial new construction
Restaurants with commercial kitchen plumbing, retail buildings, office space, and small commercial facilities. Commercial scope includes commercial gas service, kitchen equipment hookups, backflow preventer installation, sewer camera inspection on the connection, and accessibility-compliant fixture placement per current code.
- Owner-builder projects
Homeowners who are managing their own new construction project as the general contractor. We coordinate directly with you on scheduling, walk through the rough-in placements before we cut into anything, and handle the inspection process on your behalf. Same scope, same Master Plumber, same code-compliant work as a builder-managed project.
- Home additions and major expansions
Adding a new wing, a second story, a guest house, or a major expansion to an existing home. The plumbing scope sits between new construction and remodel: rough-in for the new section runs the same as a new build, and the connection back to the existing supply, drain, and vent system requires the same diagnostic care as a remodel. We handle both phases.
- Outbuildings, workshops, and detached structures
Detached workshops, guest cottages, pool houses, and outbuildings that need plumbing. Supply and drain runs from the main home or from the meter, gas line extensions where applicable, and full fixtures installed in the new structure. Permit and inspection coordination handled the same as a primary structure.
The Three Phases of New Construction Plumbing
Slab Plumbing (Phase 1)
Slab plumbing happens before the foundation is poured. Drain lines, vent stacks, sewer lines, supply lines that run through the slab, and any below-grade gas lines all go in during this phase. Once the concrete is poured, anything that’s missing or in the wrong place is enormously expensive to fix. We work from the architectural and plumbing plans, mark every fixture location precisely, install to code, pressure-test where applicable, and coordinate with the foundation crew on the pour schedule.
Top-Out (Phase 2)
Top-out is the rough-in phase. Once the framing is up but before drywall goes on, we run the supply, drain, vent, and gas lines through the walls, ceilings, and attic. Shower and tub valves get set, washing machine standpipes go in, dishwasher and refrigerator water connections are run, water heater locations are connected, and every fixture’s rough-in is positioned per the plan. Pressure tests on supply and gas, water tests on drains, and a top-out inspection by the local authority happen at the end of this phase.
Trim-Out (Phase 3)
Trim-out is the final phase, after drywall, paint, tile, flooring, and cabinetry are complete. Toilets, sinks, faucets, shower trim and handles, tub spouts, garbage disposals, dishwashers, washing machines, and water heaters all get installed and connected to the rough-in we ran during top-out. Each fixture is leak-tested. Final inspection by the local authority happens at the end of trim-out, and the plumbing system is officially complete.
Permit and Inspection Coordination
New construction plumbing requires permits and at least three inspections (slab, top-out, final) in most jurisdictions. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and pass on the first try. Failed inspections delay every other trade behind us, and rescheduling inspections in rural East Texas can mean a multi-day hold on the project. We don’t do that to a builder’s schedule.
Why Builders Stick With Master Plumbers Who Show Up
- Schedule Reliability
When a builder schedules a slab pour for Tuesday, the plumbing has to be ready by Tuesday morning. We hit our dates because the rest of the project depends on it. A plumber who calls the day-before to say they need another day costs the builder more than the plumbing scope was worth in the first place.
- First-Try Inspections
Failed inspections on slab or top-out create cascading delays: drywall can’t go up, framing inspections get held, and the rest of the trades pile up behind the plumbing. We work to the current Texas plumbing code on every install, and our inspection pass rate is what builders pay attention to when they decide who to call back for the next project.
- Same Master Plumber Across All Three Phases
Slab plumbing, top-out, and trim-out are months apart on a typical residential build, and the plumber who set the slab fixture locations needs to be the same plumber who runs the rough-in and trims out the finishes. No handoff confusion, no “the guy who did the slab isn’t here anymore,” no plan changes between phases that fall between the cracks.
- Residential and Commercial in One Shop
Builders who do both residential and commercial don’t want to manage two different plumbing trades. We work both, with the same Master Plumber and the same standards across project types. Commercial backflow, kitchen equipment hookup, and code-compliant commercial fixture placement are all in scope.
What a New Construction Plumbing Scope Looks Like
A typical new construction plumbing scope follows this sequence: pre-construction plan review with the builder or owner-builder, written quote with all three phases broken out, permit pull from the local authority, slab plumbing install before foundation pour, slab inspection, top-out install during the rough-in window, top-out inspection, gap during drywall and finish trades, trim-out install of all fixtures and water heater, final inspection, and project sign-off.
Every project is performed to current Texas plumbing code by a licensed Master Plumber. The 1-year labor warranty covers install work on top of any manufacturer warranties on fixtures and materials. Coordination with other trades is part of the scope.

I called them Friday and they said they’d be out first thing Monday morning and they were here by 8:30. They did high quality repair work on pipes and replaced two sink facets. It looks so much better than before and works like there was never an issue. The best part of this review is they were REASONABLE on charges. Highly recommend!

New Construction Plumbing Questions
Straight answers. No filler.
How much does new construction plumbing cost in East Texas?
Cost depends on the size of the home or building, the number of bathrooms and kitchens, the gas line scope, the materials selected for fixtures, and whether the project is residential or commercial. We provide a written quote after reviewing the architectural and plumbing plans, with all three phases broken out so the builder or owner can see what each phase covers.
What's the difference between top-out and trim-out?
Top-out is the rough-in phase: supply, drain, vent, and gas lines run through the framed walls before drywall goes on. Trim-out is the final phase: visible fixtures (toilets, faucets, sinks, shower trim, water heaters) installed after drywall, paint, tile, and cabinetry are complete. Both phases require inspections, and they’re typically months apart on a residential build.
Do you handle the permits and inspections?
Yes. We pull all required plumbing permits with the local authority, schedule the inspections at the right phase of the project, and pass on the first try. Failed inspections create delays for every other trade behind us, so we approach them with the same care a builder approaches a critical-path schedule item.
Do you work with home builders, or only direct with owner-builders?
Both. Many of our new construction projects come through general contractors and home builders running steady project pipelines. We also work directly with owner-builders managing their own new home or addition. Same Master Plumber, same scope clarity, same code-compliant work either way.
Do you handle commercial new construction?
Yes. Restaurants, retail, offices, small commercial facilities, and projects that require commercial-specific scope (commercial gas service, kitchen equipment hookup, backflow preventer install, accessibility-compliant fixture placement). Same Master Plumber on residential and commercial new construction.
