I’m not a plumber but I have experience with being paid piece work in mechanic or fabrication work.
I’ve always liked it and would do it again, being paid for results always suited me.
The issue is not usually the allotted time per piece- most tradesmen can understand and negotiate that. The issue is the constraints that are beyond your control- delays because of someone else.
In construction that might be waiting on other trades or suppliers.
If you can address those issues it can be great but if you are always being held up and not getting things done then you aren’t getting paid.
