Further to what RB said, apart from it being easier to do the plasterboard work now, it is also ideal and less work to have the sheet joins behind the carcasses rather than on the tiled area.
With your waste, cut it below carcass height and add new section of pipe at fit off stage, that is typical practice.
Also you might consider using the clear rather than blue or green plumbers solvent glue as it looks neater if exposed

This is correct, a lot of times I’ve found it easier and quicker to remove all the old plasterboard, clean and straighten the studs, let the electrician do his thing, and then throw two new full size sheets up, one horizontal joint and two internal corners, done and sealed.
with regard to the waste pipe, that is the plumbers problem to solve.

The kitchen turned up late this arvo. A quick setup to check where everything goes. Also decided to remove pelmet and cornice.

Don't forget nail guards. Better safe than sorry.
Innovations are those useful things that, by dint of chance, manage to survive the stupidity and destructive tendencies inherent in human nature.

I've been treading water (pun intended) for the last couple of days waiting on a plumber to come over and move the water outlets over to the right. Because the sink and dishwasher are going to be ~300mm to the right the water outlets are in the wrong position.
Also doing a dry run for the waste outlet using some scrap pieces of 50mm PVC.

Grumpy if you have the height you can put a 90 bend at slab level and turn the waste pipe up closer to the sink. I like to try and bring the pipe up behind the sink waste so the the trap sits front to back more than side to side so it takes up less room in the cupboard shelf

Thanks for the suggestion Beardy. I just asked the plumber (he's here now) and he said to put in a 90 deg bend and run the pipe under the kicker. The reason I was going to use the 2 45's was to allow the waste water to escape with less restriction.
Always better to get these things sorted before the glue goes on.

I know one should never "assume" but ...
It looks to me as though the existing pipe terminations are the kitchen side of the gyprock, so fitting a stop cock and then using the armoured pipe to the tap / appliance would all be allowed.
or do I have it the wrong way first ??regards from Alberta, Canada

The new plumbing looks so much neater than the original. No need for a separate hot water inlet for the dishwasher.
These images should show things a bit more clearly Ian.

Wall oven cabinet fully fitted and oven connected. I still need to fit a back to the microwave section. The other cabinets are not fitted yet, just checking that things are square and good to secure. The wide cabinet is sitting out from the wall as I still have to drill a hole in the back to pass the gas line through.

cant help but notice you've not lined the wall behind the sink cupboard with plasterboard, all the bugs in the district will come for a party,and with penetrations through the cabinet for plumbing,they have access to the inside. Yes I realise "Nobody will ever see it", it's just not good building practice.

Final dry fitting of the base cabinets, just to make sure everything fits and the benchtops come together before everything gets screwed down.
