The problem with “service plumbers” on a project
A plumbing project — a commercial kitchen refit, a riser replacement, the plumbing for an addition — is not a big repair. It is a job site: drawings, a schedule, permits, other trades, inspections. Plenty of plumbers who are excellent at service calls start improvising the moment more than one crew needs coordinating.
We come at it from the other direction. GCI Commercial Plumbing is the plumbing division of a general contractor: site planning, subcontractor coordination and documentation are our native language — applied to piping.
What we deliver
- New construction and addition plumbing — drainage, venting, supply, fixtures; from drawings to final inspection.
- Renovation and conversion — space conversions, commercial kitchen refits, washroom reconfigurations; coordinated with your construction schedule.
- Planned major replacements — riser stacks, commercial water heaters, grease interceptors: priced up front, executed in phases, no improvisation.
- Code upgrades — corrections required by an inspection report, an insurer or the municipality, documented for your records.
The GCI advantage: one responsible party
A project’s plumbing rarely touches only plumbing. Opening a wall, redoing a floor, moving electrical, restoring finishes — with a standalone plumber, that coordination lands on you.
As a division of GCI, we handle the related work in-house: one point of contact, one schedule, one invoice. For a property manager or owner, that is the difference between following a project and enduring one.
How a project runs with us
- Site visit and takeoff — we see the space, your drawings if you have them, and your operating constraints.
- Detailed quote — scope, exclusions, phased schedule, payment milestones. No vague allowances.
- Planned execution — work sequenced around your operations, occupant notices, a clean site every evening.
- Documented delivery — as-builts where needed, warranties, a photo report, and the maintenance recommendations that protect the investment.
After the project
A well-delivered project deserves to be well maintained. Our maintenance contracts take over: scheduled inspections of the new equipment, 24/7 priority, and a documented history that protects your warranties.
