Designing Kitchens and Bathrooms - Bath is gutted, what sequence to reinstall?

Existing bathroom is gutted. all wall and floor ceramic tile/mud everything is out.

New fixtures are sitting in the rec room. tub, toilet and sink. I'm looking at subfloor and wall studs now.

modifications for bathdrain is necessary as new tub is wider by two inches.

I will be installing a new tub, toilet, sink in the previously existing locations. I plan to install ceramic tile walls and floors utilizing backerboard

Any suggestions on the best sequence of rebuilding the room would be appreciated.

demo,

I am going to give you one version of this, some may apply, some may not but the process would be as I have listed it out;

Heating ducts located and cut in
Plumbing supply & drains installed
Electrical wiring & junction boxes installed (GFI's)
Rough heating, plumbing, & electrical inspections occur
Insulation installed (if desired to soften sounds)
Insulation inspection occurs
Install bathtub/shower
Install drywall/durock to walls
Prime & paint interior
Install vanity, top, medicine cabinet, etc.
Prep sub floor for flooring application
Install finish flooring (carpet, wood, vinyl, ceramic)
Install toilet, doors, lights, heat register, outlets, switches, etc.
Install trim
Done!!

Some folks like to do the cabinet installation after the tile work is done, I find it better to install base cabs then flooring.

Hope this helps!

I will always defer to Doug's expertise because he is our in-house professional. Based on my experience, my customers usually install tub/shower before installing floor covering. Floor covering is usually done after tub/shower installation and before toilet and vanity installation.

twelvepole,

What gives, twelvepole? My list did say that the tub/shower should be installed before flooring and flooring should be installed before the toilet and vanity. Although options were noted for the vanity installations and this is usually done based upon the plumber's installation of piping as well as existing subfloor level status. Toilets are always last or very near to the last thing to be installed in a bathroom, remodeled or new. Did I miss something?

p.s. Thanks for the compliment!

demo, please understand the issue of the cabinet installation is done when durock or similar backer is used on the floors when we are only talking about a difference in height of less than 1/2". This doesn't work on mud base/built up lath and cement tile applications or severly out of plumb floors.

Hope this helps!

Thanks to doug & twelve for the advice. It's exactly what I needed, and it makes more sense now. Most of the books detail each individual installation, but not the most sensible order to complete them.

sincerely
