Hello everyone,
I am currently building a single-story house without a basement through a developer. The drainage pipes are causing me some concerns. In the bathroom, the drain pipe is located on the outer edge, not directly under the shower or bathtub. The same issue exists in the kitchen, where there is no drain pipe, and the wastewater is supposed to be routed to the guest toilet (there are two walls in between). After discussing this with the developer, I was told this is normal. However, a good friend of mine said that drain pipes are usually installed before pouring the concrete slab, right where the drains will be.
I am a bit unsure if everything is correct. I would appreciate any feedback.
Best regards

I have another question: do all your drains run below the slab? For my renovation/extension, the plan is to have the drain go above the slab because we have a hillside house and would have to dig quite deep otherwise. We would still comply with the frost protection depth of about 1.20 meters (4 feet). But are there any types of wall penetrations that prevent moisture from getting in, since the drain would exit above the slab?
I hope I’m making myself clear.
