        "text": "Moving plumbing fixtures significantly increases project costs and extends project timelines. Keeping your toilet, shower, and sink in their original positions saves thousands of dollars because the drainage and water supply lines can stay largely intact. Relocating a drain or vent stack requires opening subfloors or walls, coordinating licensed plumbing sub-trades, and reframing floor joists or wall studs. If your current layout functions well, keeping the footprint intact lets you invest more of your budget into higher-grade tile, custom vanities, and premium fixtures.",
