Moving a full bathroom into a laundry room — am I underestimating this plumbing job?

Alright plumbers, I need a reality check 😅

I’m planning to:

  • Convert an oversized second-floor bathroom into a bedroom
  • Build a new bathroom in the adjacent laundry room

I have a rough current layout + proposed layout.

Plumbing situation:

  • Laundry room already has water lines + a drain (for washer)
  • Main sewer stack is at the back of the house
  • New bathroom would need a toilet, shower, and vanity

My question is basically:
How difficult is it to reroute everything (especially the toilet drain) to tie into the existing stack?

And more importantly:

  • Are we talking “standard remodel complexity” or “this is going to open up ceilings/walls everywhere”?
  • Any major constraints I should be aware of before I commit?

Trying to sanity check whether this is straightforward for a pro or something that turns into a much bigger structural/plumbing project.

Appreciate any guidance 👍
