I want to have the bathroom in the back next to the kitchen but my partner wants to have it far away and add another plumbing wall

As a home builder, I know that it's better to group the plumbing together close to the water heater for energy efficiency and to lower the cost of plumbing materials. However, the savings isn't a really big deal.
In my opinion, I would suggest that you build it the way you want it. My clients ask me the same question and I always advise them to build their homes the way they want them in the beginning. If not, they usually end up doing renovations and making it the way they want later on.
That's how I built my home and I love it.

well know i guess it all depends on how much you re willing to spend on the plumbing. personally i would rather have as much of the plumbing under the house and in one location that way if and when the lines leak there is only one area that is effected, whether it be in a wall or in the basement or crawl space. one of the questions you should be asking yourselves do you want the batheroom off of the kitchen, ours is but i live in a 800 square foot house. If it were possible for us i would not have the batheroom off of the kitchen.

If you are building a new house I don't think it is a big consideration. It is mostly about cost. It is less expensive to group plumbing areas together. If it is not about cost, put the bath according to the preferred layout.

it would be easier to have it directly above, but since it will be new construction, it s really not that difficult or bad for anything.it will cut down on places to run return air and heat runs but its still not a big deal as long as your plumber and heating guy gets their heads together. better yet, have the same guy do all your mechanicals

for what reason? the least amount of piping in walls is good for less breakage and leaks.....depends on what you want......your choice......good luck
