CUSTOMER HIGHLIGHT BUILT OFF-SITE. DELIVERED READY. INSTALLED FASTER. How Holmes Plumbing used Drillcut’s prefabricated manifold solution to save labour and keep a Melbourne project moving. When Lachie from Holmes Plumbing spoke with Gary on site, one thing was clear straight away. On a job of this size, anything that saves time, reduces labour on site, and removes unnecessary complexity is a major win. That is exactly where Drillcut’s workshop capability came into play. For this Melbourne storage facility project, Drillcut supplied a large prefabricated copper manifold system that was designed, built and prepared off site before it ever reached the job. Instead of having Holmes Plumbing spend valuable labour hours building it all out on site, the system was pre- engineered, pre-cut, pre-manufactured and pre- assembled in Drillcut’s workshop, then delivered ready to be placed and connected. For Lachie and his team, the difference was immediate, with Lachie saying: “Going through Drillcut saves us that much time.” On busy commercial projects, that kind of saving does more than just make one part of the install easier. It frees up the crew to keep pushing the rest of the job forward. IT’S SO MUCH MORE EFFICIENT AND EASIER FOR OUR BOYS TO DO THE REST OF THE JOB.” “ That is the real value of off-site prefabrication when it is done properly. Instead of sending loose components to site and expecting the full assembly to be built in the middle of an active project, Drillcut can manufacture custom solutions in advance and deliver them ready for install. That means less time spent fabricating on site, fewer moving parts to manage, and less pressure on labour where it is already stretched.
In this case, the process was simple once the manifold arrived. The truck backed in, the site team had a forklift ready, and the unit came off in one piece. WE LIFTED IT STRAIGHT OFF THE TRUCK AND STRAIGHT TO WHERE IT IS NOW.” “
