Plumbing Contractors

[hagana1995]

Hello, we are embarking on the construction of our house in khao yai (pakchong) and while we have a general contractor we would like to use a specialised plumbing contractor for the plumbing part. can anyone recommend one that can be operational in that area and has proven to be efficient ? thank you for your input and help.

Plumbing isn't exactly rocket science, and any experienced contractor should understand what's needed just fine. Has your building contractor asked for help here? If so, you might want to start considering everything else he might not be able to do, and look for someone else

Yes I agree, it is worrying if a contractor lacks skills in this trade.

imho (no not you!) plumbing is the easiest of all the construction trades yet for some crazy reason in the UK it commanded the highest salary. It doesnt take much skill, but a lot of care and attention to get it right.

Plastering/rendering I consider to be the most skilled trade on a par with 2nd fix joinery yet that trade is like.....well everyone can do it as well as drinking.

If you have a 50bt hacksaw and a tin of solvent cement glue and a forefinger (left or right) you can diy.

It could indeed be classified as rocket science if pipe runs (particularly drainage) are expected to defy gravity.

Should be a simple task for simple folk. Then again!
