plumbing before pouring slab

[bdog]

I am going to be breaking ground next week on a 50 x 50 steel building. I want to have a toilet and sink in it. I know absolutely nothing about plumbing other then **** flows down hill lol . What do I need to do before I pour the slab to facilitate the toilet and sink?

Likely due to my budget the actual toilet and sink won't be in place or connected for several months but I want to do the prep work for them.

Anything else I should be considering or thinking about before the build is started?

Depends on where you live. Most locations require a licensed plumber and an inspectation before the pour. -Ed

you have to plan where it is going to go and they you can insert sytrofoam in the poor. when you are ready you can easily punch out the sytrofoan and go from there. better yet is to put in place the drains now and even a water line it is easier to do now than later when you have to channel in the concrete or under it . you can pay now or you can pay later and you always pay more later.

We are not in the city and there are no permit or inspection requirements.

That makes things easier but keep the eye to the future. If you choose to sell later on and the economy grows than you MAY have to fix it to code.

The toilet drain is the most important thing to have installed. Worst case scenario, you could run the water lines and sink drain out the side of the building if the bathroom will be on an outside wall. But the toilet drain need to be in the slab and it is certainly cheaper and easier to do all the plumbing before the concrete is poured.

Don't forget vent lines and lines to a possible water heater.

Go to Lowes, or comparable and purchase a beginners book for p;umbing. This will help you alot.
