From hot water system selection to bathroom waterproofing, plumbing decisions can make or break a renovation or new build. BUILD.com.au helps home owners understand their plumbing options, requirements and responsibilities long before a licensed plumber is called in.

The site’s plumbing section covers water supply, drainage systems, gas fitting, backflow prevention, stormwater management, rainwater harvesting and more. Home owners can explore guides like choosing the right hot water system, understanding water pressure limits and how to prepare for bathroom renovations.

For plumbers, BUILD.com.au means working with better-informed clients. When home owners have already read about compliance requirements under AS/NZS 3500, or why a certain pipe material might be recommended, they’re more likely to approve your proposals and avoid unnecessary disputes.

The site also educates readers on the importance of engaging licensed plumbers for all regulated work, protecting both safety and compliance. It explains how good plumbing integrates with the broader build, from ensuring adequate water supply for appliances to coordinating with electricians and builders during fit-off.

Encouraging clients to visit BUILD.com.au/plumbing before work begins can save you hours of explanation, reduce variations and make for smoother, more compliant projects.
