New Construction Piping
About This Project
We designed and installed the complete plumbing system for a new commercial office building — including 6 ADA-compliant restrooms, a break room with dishwasher connections, and a mechanical room with commercial water heaters. The project required coordination with HVAC and electrical trades, management of all permits and inspections, and meeting a tight 8-week construction schedule.

"FlowRight coordinated flawlessly with our GC and other trades. The project finished early and under budget — unheard of in commercial work."
— Robert H., Building Owner
Challenge → Solution → Result
The Challenge
This was a ground-up commercial build with a compressed timeline. We had to coordinate our rough-in work around structural steel, HVAC ductwork, and electrical conduit — all competing for the same ceiling and wall cavities. The 6 restrooms also required full ADA compliance, including specific fixture heights, grab bar backing, and accessible clearances.
Our Approach
We used BIM (Building Information Modeling) coordination to pre-plan all pipe routes and avoid conflicts with other trades. Prefabricated pipe assemblies were built in our shop and brought to site for faster installation. We staged the work in three phases: underground rough-in, above-ceiling distribution, and final fixture installation — each phase aligned with the general contractor's milestone schedule.
The Result
The project was completed 3 days ahead of schedule. All 6 restrooms passed ADA inspection on the first attempt. The dual commercial water heaters provide redundant hot water supply, and the break room plumbing supports both a commercial dishwasher and an ice maker. The building owner praised the clean, organized pipe routing visible in the mechanical room.
Key Work Performed
BIM Coordination
Full 3D modeling of all plumbing routes was completed before a single pipe was cut. This eliminated clashes with HVAC and electrical, saving weeks of field rework.
ADA-Compliant Restrooms
All 6 restrooms were designed and built to full ADA standards — including wall-hung toilets at proper heights, accessible sinks with knee clearance, and insulated supply lines to prevent contact burns.
Mechanical Room Design
The mechanical room houses dual 75-gallon commercial water heaters in a lead-lag configuration, a main shut-off manifold, and a backflow prevention assembly — all organized with color-coded pipe labels and easy-access valves.
