Toronto context
Commercial plumbing in Toronto runs in occupied buildings — restaurants, multi-tenant offices, retail, food-service, condos, dental and medical. Coordination with property management, after-hours scheduling, COR-clearance subcontractor protocols, and minimal-disruption execution matter as much as the technical work itself.
What to confirm before approving commercial work
- After-hours and access logistics should be planned, not improvised.
- Compliance documentation should be part of the deliverable when applicable.
- Recurring service contracts should be quoted with measurable scope.
Useful info on the call: site hours, access rules, who approves, and which systems are affected.
