Construction ITEM DESCRIPTION

Plumbing estimating unit cost for installation of copper supply lines for a typical plumbing fixture.


Unit Size

One plumbing fixture (toilet, sink, shower, tub, exterior faucet or other plumbing item).


Labor Costs

We figure a skilled plumber will take about 4 hours providing plumbing for each fixture, with about one hour of help from an unskilled worker.

NOTE-- These prices are a "rule of thumb" that we used for kitchen and bath remodeling projects. For new construction you could probably reduce the price to about 2 hours per fixture.


Material Costs

15 feet of 1/2" copper piping, 5 feet of 3/4" piping, and six fittings.

These quantities will handle kitchen and bath fixtures in an average house that doesn't sprawl too much. If the project work is distant from the water supply entry point, add some additional footage with one of the per-square-foot copper piping costs.


hard COnstruction Cost, Typical

$253.43 each


Suggested Quantity

No suggested quantity. Enter the number of fixtures in the project.


Source of Construction Pricing

A "rule of thumb" that we got from a local plumbing contractor. It seemed to work pretty well on a variety of small projects where we provided our own plumbing work.
