DIY Hydronic Installation

mchenry · 2007-04-14T02:52:33+00:00

Can anyone advise me on the installation of hydronic coils before a slabis poured ?We are building a new home and I have costed the Rehau 16mm PEX totalling$6,000 for 550 sqm. This is working on 5m per sqm equalling 2750m.On a sqm basis this is approx $11 however every quotation I have receivedis approx $50-$55 per sqm to supply & lay the pipe prior to having theslab poured.So it will cost me upwards of $21,450 for the installer to design thelayout and attach the pipe to the mesh prior to the pour !As it cannot be rocket science and well worth the savings are there anyDIY guides available for potential pitfalls and design etc.Thanks in advance...
