You can’t put in the bathroom before you’ve sorted the plumbing. Well, you can, but don’t expect anything to work. If you do it that way, expect it to be a mess for a long time as you retrofit – which means tearing down and building back – one unit at a time. It gets there in the end but wastes time and resources and causes frustration and irritation, especially to anyone who did the work, has to do the re-work, or is waiting to use the sink. Crazy. Nobody would fit the sink before the pipes. Nobody.
