Hi, first of all, I’m new here and hope to find answers to my question.
My girlfriend and I have bought a house from 1966 and are renovating everything mostly by ourselves with the help of friends.
I asked a friend about the cost of the rough-in plumbing (from the water meter to the bathrooms, excluding fixtures and furniture), and when he told me it would be between 8,000 and 10,000 (dollars/pounds/depending on region), I was quite surprised.
Regarding the current situation: I have removed all old pipes except for the heating system and completed all core drillings. Now all the drain, cold, and hot water pipes will be replaced as surface-mounted, since my friend thinks embedding them in the exterior wall would be too risky structurally.
Light blue: bathroom on the first floor (bathtub on the left, shower top right, toilet bottom right) with a partition wall between the shower and toilet where the sink will be mounted in front.
Orange: drainage connections in the basement.
White: guest toilet on the ground floor.
Green: heating and main water connection.
Red: core drillings from the top floor down to the basement.
The entire bathroom will also have underfloor heating installed.
I hope I didn’t forget anything important, but feel free to ask if so.
Best regards, Gisi

I’ve just gone through this myself. The quotes were between 35-50 €/m (meters) of piping including full insulation (cold water 50% insulated in living areas).
Wastewater piping was around 20-30 €/m (meters) (including wall penetrations, but excluding chipping work in the existing screed/foundation slab).
Do you need a circulation pipe? Probably not in your case.
Underfloor heating renovation prices vary widely, from 20-150 €/m² (square meters) (installed serpentines on builder-supplied insulation boards up to capillary-thin-layer systems with very expensive 1.5 cm (0.6 inch) screed).

I don’t have any contractors working on my build; I’m doing most of it myself, except for the electrical and plumbing, which acquaintances are handling.
I just wanted a general assessment of whether the price seems reasonable, because I find it quite a bit for so little piping.
