Bathroom Fixture Schedule (India): A Tagged Sanitaryware & CP Fitting Schedule for Procurement

A fixture schedule is the single sheet that stops a bathroom project from turning into a series of arguments. It lists every piece of sanitaryware and every chrome-plated (CP) fitting once, gives each a tag, pins down the model and finish, and tells procurement how many to buy and where each one goes. When the WC on the drawing, the WC in the BOQ, the WC in the purchase order and the WC that lands on site are all "WC-1", nobody guesses, nobody substitutes silently, and nobody pays twice.

This is a working document, not an essay. Copy the tables below into your own project sheet, swap the example rows for your specification, and issue it alongside the tile layout and the bathroom plumbing schedule. It sits between design freeze and procurement, and it stays live — updated — right through to handover.

One golden rule: a fixture is only "decided" when it has a tag, a model number and an approved finish. Anything specified as just "good quality wall-hung WC" will be value-engineered into whatever the plumber's dealer had in stock.

How to use this document

• Who fills it in: the architect or interior designer specifies; the site engineer or PMC tracks status; the contractor procures against it.
• When it is issued: at design freeze, before the first sanitaryware purchase order. Re-issue on every revision (mark Rev 1, Rev 2 with a date).
• How to read a tag: two letters for the family, a number for the variant. WC-1 and WC-2 are two different water closets in the same project; the number is not a quantity.
• Golden source: the schedule references the drawings, not the other way round. If a mixer moves on the elevation, the schedule row is what gets corrected and re-circulated.
• One project, one legend: publish the tag legend on the first sheet so every trade uses WC-1 to mean the same pan.

The tag convention

Keep it short and readable. A common India-friendly set:

• WC — water closet (pan) · CT — cistern / flush plate · BS — basin · CP counter/vanity basins can share BS with a sub-note
• FT — CP fitting (basin mixer, bib cock, angle valve) · HF — health faucet · SH — shower set (mixer + head) · DV — diverter
• GY — geyser / water heater · FD — floor drain / trap · AC — accessory (towel rail, robe hook, paper holder, grab bar)

The fixture schedule

This is the deliverable. Every row is one tagged item. Rates are indicative ex-showroom ranges (2026) and vary by city, brand tier and finish — never treat them as a quote. Fill the Qty and Location columns per your actual layout.

Add a totals row per family at the bottom of your working copy so the purchase order quantities fall straight out of the schedule.

Finishes & colour reference

Half the site disputes on fittings are about finish, not fixture. Lock the finish codes here, and quote the code (not "silver-ish") on every purchase order. PVD finishes cost more but resist scratching and hard-water spotting far better than electroplated chrome — worth it in matt black and gold, which show wear fastest.

Do not mix finishes by accident. If the scheme is CP, a single matt-black angle valve that slipped through on a substitution will be the first thing a client notices. Approve one finish per zone in writing.

Coordination & approval status

This is the tracker that keeps everyone honest. Run it as a live column set beside the schedule: a fixture moves left-to-right from Specified → Approved → Ordered → Delivered → Installed, and nothing gets fixed on site until "Approved". Update it weekly and colour the laggards.

Keep the PO number in the "Ordered" cell — it links the schedule to the paper trail so any delivery can be traced back to one line.

Common mistakes

• Quantities read as variants. WC-2 does not mean "two WCs" — it is the second type. Keep quantity strictly in the Qty column.
• No concealed-body rough-in coordination. Concealed cisterns, diverters and shower mixers must be ordered before first-fix plumbing. Order the trim late, but never the body.
• Set-out distances missing. A P-trap pan (180 mm) on an S-trap set-out (220 mm) will not sit flush. Cross-check every WC and basin against the plumbing set-out before ordering.
• Finish specified in words, not codes. "Rose gold" from two brands rarely matches. Reference the finish code and approve a physical sample.
• Blocking forgotten. Towel rails, grab bars and wall-hung WCs pulling out of tile is the classic snag. Confirm blocking or a frame under every wall-mounted item before it is ordered.
• Schedule not re-issued after revision. An out-of-date schedule is worse than none — mark every revision with number and date, and withdraw the old one.

Treat this schedule as a starting point, not a final specification. Verify every tag, set-out and quantity against your actual drawings, the signed contract and current IS codes, and have a licensed plumber and your PMC confirm before you raise a purchase order.
