What drives the price
Plumbing relocation is the single biggest cost lever. Keeping the toilet, sink, and shower in place avoids a lot of labor, permitting, and inspection. After that, tile scope and fixture tier move the budget most, along with any structural or waterproofing needs discovered during demolition.
