Sydney Plumbing Contractor: How to Choose a Company

How do you choose a Sydney plumbing contractor? This is what we will discuss with you today, along with what makes us, Australian Construction, a highly qualified contractor for large-scale plumbing contractor services.

When building a structure or a government facility, one of the organisations you need in your team is a plumbing contractor. This is a company of engineers who specialise in water pressure, laying pipes, installation, septic tanks, and many other things that you need to ensure that your plumbing system not only works but is also compliant with all health and safety regulations.

Choose one that has credentials

What are the credentials?

A credential refers to a license. Many people think that a plumber does not need a license. That is true but plumbers can only operate without a license if they are merely fixing a faucet. Things like this are tasks reserved for plumbers who do basic repairs.

For contractor jobs, the company that you deal with must be licensed. We at Australian Construction are fully licensed to do Sydney plumbing contractor jobs. Not only are we licensed, but our team experts, such as engineers, have individual licenses of their own.

Why is this important?

You must only deal with licensed companies to ensure that they have adequate training and that they are compliant with building and plumbing codes. These companies have a liability, and repetitive complaints from clients can make them lose their license to operate.

Choose a licensed company because they have a lot at stake to lose. If you work with an unlicensed plumbing contractor, chances are they do not have the proper training, much less knowledge about government standards.

As a licensed contractor, we at Australian Construction offer a guarantee, a warranty, and even liability statements in our job quotation and contracts. This assures you that your money and property are both in good hands.

Choose one with raving reviews

The internet has made it easy for us to investigate whether a company is worth it or not. What we recommended is that you shop for a plumbing contractor. Speak to several companies and get different quotes for the same kind of job or project.

Once you have a list, drill it down to two or three companies, and then do your investigation. You can start on Facebook. If the company has a Facebook page, see how their clients have reacted to their service.

If not, check trustworthy review sites like Trust Pilot. If you cannot find any, it is time to get vigilant. Ask the contractor what buildings they have serviced, or which projects they worked in. Then, if you could contact the building administrators of these projects, do so.

You can write a letter if you want to. Ask for feedback, and do not be ashamed to do so. Find out if the plumbing contractor service was great, if it gave them value for their money, and if they delivered the job on time.  

Choose one that offers liability clauses

The contract that you sign must have liability clauses. The problem with the plumbing system is that the pipes have been laid, it is not as if you can just dismantle them if something goes wrong.

Any problem with the pipes means that you would have to dig the trenches again and replace the problematic pipes.

And who is going to shoulder this cost? Definitely not you.

At Australian Construction, we want our clients to have an assurance. This is how confident we are about our work. Our contracts have liability clauses indicating how far we will go to repair a job that was not done right.

This is great for you because you have the confidence that we will execute our part according to your specifications. Of course, this is not likely to happen. We ensure that the job we do is completed to high standards—nobody wants to do a bad job and repeat it and lose money in the process.

Naturally, calamities and acts of nature are beyond our control. The only thing we could do is to use science to preempt possible natural damages and control what we could.

Do not work with a Sydney plumbing contractor unless there is a “liability clause” in the contract.

Choose one with a lot of experience

Repairing basic plumbing at home does not need a lot of experience. Many plumbers learn how to fix and install showers or sinks by apprenticeship. However, large-scale projects are a different matter altogether.

Choose a contractor that has been in business for a while and one that has completed many projects. We at Australian Construction fit both.

Why is this important?

A company that has been around for a long while is an indication that it has weathered the storms of the new competition—that they are experts in their chosen profession and that they are the premier choice. A company that has been in the business for so long also has serviced many clients.

Each client has a different need, especially for large-scale projects. All these put together exposes the contractor to different problems—things that you will never learn in school.

We at Australian Construction have been in business for 20 years. That is a long time. This has allowed us to service many clients and grow. Our employees and engineers have a cumulative experience of more than 100 years, and this is why you can rely on us.
