The architect typically determines the plumbed locations of hot and cold water fixtures in a building because they are responsible for the overall design and layout of the project. Architects carefully consider the functionality, aesthetics, and code requirements when deciding where fixtures will be placed. They take into account the flow of the space, plumbing accessibility, and compliance with local building codes during the design process.

While other roles, such as the general contractor, the plumbing inspector, and the building owner, play important parts in the construction and inspection phases, they do not generally dictate fixture placement. The general contractor implements the plans provided by the architect, the plumbing inspector ensures that plumbing work meets code during and after installation, and the building owner may provide input regarding preferences but ultimately relies on the architect's designs for fixture locations.
