When looking to hire a commercial plumber or electrical contractor for your project, you might be led into thinking that anyone who carries out heating, plumbing and electrical work could be up to the job.
Unfortunately, this is a potentially costly mistake, as there are quite a few differences in what’s required, when it comes to commercial and domestic projects – so it’s worth taking the time to be assured that the company you choose is up to the job.
It goes without saying that it is vital to check up on the commercial projects that your electrical contractor or heating and plumbing specialist has worked on in the past and to get evidence of the quality of the work they have done, but what is it that makes commercial and domestic work so different?
The Differences Between Domestic and Commercial Work
When we’re talking about working on a large construction project, or major industrial premises, clearly the work involved will be on a larger scale than in a domestic residence and potentially require the involvement of a larger team, in order to have the work carried out on schedule.
Then there’s the greater complexities of the heating, plumbing and electrical systems to take into account. A system which is to service a large building, such as a hospital or school, will be much larger and more complex than the kind that you might use in a domestic household. Experience and knowledge of these systems is a must – especially in cases where having heating, plumbing and electrical systems which work effectively and efficiently at all times is vital, such as in a healthcare setting.
Other considerations before you choose your heating, plumbing and electrical contractors include:
- Whether they have knowledge of industrial health and safety rules and other relevant legislation which must be adhered to.
- Will they be able to work reliably, professionally and efficiently to reduce any business downtime or hold ups in the work schedule?
- Is there an awareness of the different types of fittings required for systems which have to be able to withstand much heavier use?
- Are there any additional servicing or maintenance requirements they can carry out?
- When it comes to the regeneration of older buildings – do they have the knowledge of how to update systems to bring them into the current hi-tech world?
- Can they carry out the work on budget?
