Permit and inspection context in Fort Myers
The City of Fort Myers maintains plumbing trade applications, checklists, and inspection processes for permitted construction, identifying plumbing additions/relocations, underground utilities, and new or altered building work as permit-relevant categories. New construction should be planned from current adopted requirements and project-specific approvals.
Residential and commercial new construction
Residential
Residential projects can include single-family homes and additions with substantial new plumbing. Key decisions include bathroom/kitchen layout, hot-water design, future maintenance access, shutoff locations, and whether under-slab water routing is used.
Commercial
Commercial projects can add higher fixture counts, larger water and sewer demand, public restrooms, larger hot-water systems, and tenant/build-out coordination. Project documents should define the plumbing scope rather than relying on residential assumptions.

Frequently asked questions about new construction plumbing
When should the plumber be involved in a new build?
Early enough to review fixture layouts, underground plumbing, utility connections, water-heater design, and conflicts before slab/framing decisions become expensive to change.
What is plumbing rough-in?
It’s the stage when water, drain, and vent piping is installed to fixture/equipment locations before walls and finishes are closed.
Do you install plumbing under the slab?
New-construction scope can include under-slab drains, sleeves, and piping shown by the approved project design. The exact routing depends on plans and code.
Can you install tankless water heaters in new construction?
Yes, when flow demand, fuel/electrical capacity, venting, and project design support tankless equipment.
Who pulls plumbing permits?
Permit responsibility depends on project contracting and local requirements. Fort Myers has plumbing trade permit processes and contractor registration requirements.
Do new plumbing systems need testing before inspection?
Yes, plumbing systems are typically subject to required testing/inspection stages under the applicable code and permit process.
Can you handle both residential and commercial new construction?
PalmLine provides residential and commercial plumbing. Exact project size and scope should be reviewed before commitment.
Does new construction include fixtures?
It can, but the contract should state whether fixtures are owner-supplied, contractor-supplied, or excluded, and who installs final trim.
Can you install water treatment in a new build?
Yes, when treatment is justified by the water source and owner goal. City water and private-well systems should be evaluated differently.
Is new construction plumbing available for emergency scheduling?
New construction is planned project work, not an emergency service. PalmLine’s 24/7 emergency line is for urgent failures on active plumbing systems.
