Frequently asked questions
How is a plumbing company structured?
Most plumbing companies have the Owner at the top with Service and Construction as parallel tracks under their own managers. Master Plumbers lead Journeymen and Apprentices in the field. Dispatch, CSR, and an Office Manager handle admin.
What is the difference between a master plumber and a journeyman?
A Master Plumber holds the highest license and can pull permits, sign off on inspections, and supervise others. Journeymen are licensed to work but cannot supervise apprentices independently in most states.
When does a plumbing company need a separate construction manager?
Once new-construction or remodel work passes about 25 percent of revenue or 5 active jobs, a dedicated Construction Manager pays back. Below that, the Service Manager can supervise.
