He said that the pipes (drainage) needs to be run under the floor (second floor) and up through the timber (where the wall is) and that this would breach building integrity. Is this true? and if so, how on earth do they do plumbing in houses that have wall hung vanities? Your answers would be greatly appreciated.

If he was worried about building integrity he could fit support studs around the penetrated studs. In reality, his plumber hasnt fitted the waste pipes in the wall before the wall cladding was installed and they dont want to pull the cladding off to do it.
