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.

Single residential, multi-residential and small-scale commercial working throughout New South Wales
Integral to these services are processes including:
• Pre-construction advice
• Estimating
• Project management
• Post-occupancy maintenance (Robert Plumb Fix)
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.

At Robert Plumb we are committed to fostering growth and talent. Many of our builders started their careers as apprentices with the company, learning the skills of the trade from experienced team members who work alongside them.
Respect is central to our business: respect for the work we do, for the skills of other team members and collaborators, and for our clients and their properties. We believe that a culture of respect, enthusiasm and constant learning makes Robert Plumb Build a great place to work.
We are always on the lookout for the next generation of skilled and dedicated builders, taking on at least one new apprentice each year and mentoring them through a four-year program. If you’d like the chance to work at Robert Plumb Build, please visit our Careers page.
We look forward to hearing from you.
