Robert Plumb Build is one of Sydney’s leading premium residential building companies. Established in 2011, it has become well known for its building excellence, quality craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Managing director Bill Clifton believes in making the building experience as smooth as possible for all involved, from clients to co-workers.  This belief is reflected in the company’s open, informed approach that values clear communication, effective solutions and a commitment to transparency at all stages of the construction process.

Robert Plumb’s strong team of skilled tradesmen take pride in the expertise they bring to each build and in delivering work of the highest standard. The company collaborates with some of Australia’s leading interior designers and architects to create homes that are beautiful in design and meticulous in structure.

Robert Plumb Build is part of the Robert Plumb Collective

Fundamental to our company’s success is a strong set of values that fosters teamwork, challenges us to continuously improve and commits us to delivering excellence across the board.

The business builds cohesive teams by investing in skill, character, and personal development.

Our core values are:

OUR PEOPLE We champion our values and build cohesive teams by investing in skill, character, and personal development.

COLLABORATION We are collectively committed to realising the full potential of each project by collaborating with like-minded people.  We believe that teamwork combined with strong community relationships creates the best outcomes.

IMPROVEMENT We strive for improvement in our operations by implementing sustainable practices and keeping abreast of industry innovation and advances in technology.

EXCELLENCE We are rigorous in our pursuit of a high-quality outcome in every aspect of the process, from tendering to handing over a finished project.

ACCOUNTABILITY We are a transparent business that leads by example, acting with honesty and fairness at all times.  We value humility.

We have put in place a series of processes to ensure the engagement with architects and clients is seamless and transparent. We are always striving to improve how we deliver the best outcome and have developed a staged process outlined in the Early Contractor Involvement Proposal, Pricing Process and Capability Statement.

During Early Contractor Involvement, we work closely with the architect to provide advice on site access, construction methodology, material selections, construction detailing, services coordination and pricing.

In our experience, early contractor involvement produces tangible benefits for a project. From a design perspective, it ensures that the whole project team are aligned to make the most of every opportunity. It allows the architect to focus on achieving their design intent with timely access to expert input from the RPB and sub-contractor team.

From a site perspective, it sets the project up for success with resolved construction detailing and a plan for efficient work on site. From a client’s perspective, it de-risks the construction process by identifying and mitigating risks before they occur by drawing on the collective experience of the Robert Plumb team.

We endeavour to give realistic estimates of time and cost for projects. We believe that by aligning values and expectations at the beginning we are setting the project up for success. This will also allow planning of finances and accommodation for the duration of the build. We believe that this approach results in the most enjoyable process and high-quality outcome.

Each project has its own unique set of opportunities and constraints. The process we describe is in our opinion the most efficient and accurate way to price a project.

This describes, in some detail who we are, explains our values, team structure  and how we approach each project. This document aims to give insights into everything from budget to building and sustainability, contracts to previously built projects.
