When Should I Choose Faucets and Plumbing Fixtures for My Custom Build?
The more decisions you can make early in the planning process for your custom build, the better. By selecting your preferred faucets and plumbing fixtures as soon as possible, we can provide you with a detailed breakdown of the specifications and building costs.
That said, you shouldn’t rush choosing faucets and plumbing fixtures for your build. If you need more time to make these decisions, we can make room in your budget for selecting plumbing fixtures down the line. Factoring this into the budget from the get-go is important, even if you’ve yet to pin down which exact faucets and plumbing fixtures you want.
How Can I Select Faucets and Plumbing Fixtures for My Custom Home?
There are so many decisions that go into building a custom home, down to the faucets, handles, towel racks, toilet paper holders, and other plumbing fixtures you incorporate into bathrooms and kitchens. Different bathrooms serve different purposes, and practicality is important to keep in mind.
For example, you may want the en suite bathroom in the primary bedroom to have double rain showers, soap dispensers, and multiple tub fillers. You may require entirely different shower heads or bathroom fixtures elsewhere, such as in a child’s bathroom.
You may want faucets and plumbing fixtures of a completely different style in the guest bathroom off the living room, too. We can help you balance design and functionality, making sure the plumbing features of choose for your custom home meet your expectations.
The faucet, soap dispenser, and other plumbing fixtures in your kitchen set the tone for that room’s aesthetic. If you want a more modern, farmhouse feel, matte black or brushed nickel may do the trick. If you are building a traditional custom home, chrome faucets and features from Moen can help you achieve the desired vibe.
To get inspiration, look up pictures of homes you love, and take note of the small details, like the type of faucet that might look best in the farmhouse sink in your new custom build.
When Do You Add Faucets and Plumbing Fixtures to Custom Builds?
Faucets, plumbing fixtures, and the like are some of the final elements added to custom builds. Because of this, some clients choose to select these features during walkthroughs with vendors so they can get a clearer idea of the final result.
We will invite you to walkthroughs of your custom build throughout its construction. While adding the plumbing rough-ins will be one of the first things we do, adding faucets, shower heads, and other plumbing fixtures will be done close to the end, when the major construction is done.
Otherwise, if they get added too early, they might get damaged during construction. We take respecting your building materials seriously, especially the luxury finishes you choose, and will install them when appropriate.
Once all the last finishes are installed, from the faucets and plumbing fixtures, to the lighting fixtures and trim, we will invite you on one final walkthrough. This is your chance to see the final result of your custom build and approve the last few touches we made, before you get your keys and can move in.
Since faucets and plumbing fixtures are added so late into construction on your custom home, that leaves you plenty of time to meet with vendors and compare your options before making any final decisions. All that said, we may get the most accurate building cost projections when we can include as many fixtures as possible, from the faucets in your kitchen to the crown molding in the living room.
