Abstract
The impact of the plumbing system during construction is significant. Every home or structure must have a plumbing system. The plumbing system must be planned and designed properly in order to meet the residents' needs for hygiene. According to reports, plumbing and sanitary work account for 12 to 15% of a building's construction costs. Installation, repair, maintenance, and service of plumbing fixtures and fittings are all part of a plumber's job description. A plumber should be diligent, have excellent communication skills, be a results-oriented worker with a positive attitude, and have a solid understanding of the processes needed to complete various tasks. Plumbing and sanitary systems are necessary for any structure to operate correctly, whether it is residential, commercial, or industrial. Therefore, it is crucial to have a consistent and ample water supply as well as an appropriate method for disposing of waste water. All sorts of building construction heavily relies on plumbing and pipe fittings. An effective plumbing system ensures improved sanitation and keeps the air fresh. To prevent physical interferences between mechanical, electrical, and structural or architectural characteristics, it is essential to choose a competent plumbing system. A good plumbing system will lessen plumbing emergencies, lower maintenance and construction costs, and shorten the design process. We can reduce the cost of a construction by performing various load calculations that take into account different plumbing systems.
