Before you start
What to know.
Permits
Replacing fixtures in the same positions usually needs no building permit. Adding a new bathroom or moving drains and vents usually does. Electrical work is filed with the Electrical Safety Authority.
What matters most
The parts you never see decide how long a bathroom lasts: the waterproofing membrane, the slope to the drain and the exhaust fan ducted outside.
Adding a bathroom
A new ensuite or powder room depends on where the drain stack and vents can run. We check that route before drawing the room.
