I am building my own home in Jackson County, Georgia. IRC rules, not UPC. I am attaching pics of the layout for under slab plumbing. I'd like any opinions or comments on whether this is all correct, meets code, and if there is anywhere it can be simplified. I split it into two pictures because the plan is really wide. Easier to view this way.

Go easy on me! I'm new!

I thought I would at least get some funny comments and criticism! I have about a week before I start plumbing under slab. Hoping someone will chime in and let me know if there are any glaring mistakes here.

There's no way to correct your plumbing plan without a real floor plan. Without that it's an endless back and forth guessing game.

I did not go thru extensively. I note that just under
"4x3 reducer" is something that would be a 3x3x3 wye, and not a 4x4x3 combo. I assume there is more.

Here is the floor plan. 2 fixtures not shown on floor plan are a sink in the garage and a sink that will be in an outdoor kitchen. They are labeled on the plumbing layout.

View attachment 101931View attachment 101932 When planning a new construction plumbing layout, make sure you consider future access to cleanouts and enough slope on horizontal drain lines—those details can save a lot of trouble later. I recently went through this process and found it helpful to take breaks and recharge, especially when dealing with complex code requirements. Oddly enough, I discovered this site during downtime—pretty decent distraction when you need a mental reset. Follow here to learn more about it. Anyway, if you're unsure about venting or drain placement, posting a simple sketch here could get you better feedback.
It`s interesting.
