There are no forms: call, text or email only. ## Key pages - [Home](https://plumber.consulting/): Plumber.Consulting helps owners of Canadian plumbing companies fix the four things that decide profit: what they charge, who they hire, how work flows through the office, and where their marketing money goes. - [Services](https://plumber.consulting/services/): We offer five services, but you rarely need all five at once. This page explains what each one fixes and the symptoms that tell you where to start. - [Areas](https://plumber.consulting/areas/): We work with plumbing owners anywhere in Canada, in person or by video call, phone, text and email. The business problems are similar everywhere, but the regulators, certification bodies, climate and labour markets differ, and good advice accounts for them. - [About](https://plumber.consulting/about/): Plumber.Consulting is a Canadian business and marketing consulting service for plumbing company owners, run from Vancouver as part of the Sedighi.ca and SAZ.ca group and led by Ali Sedighi, MBA. - [Results](https://plumber.consulting/results/): Our published results come from heating companies, not plumbing companies, and we say so plainly. Each case below shows a business method, such as launching a division or lifting lead flow, that a plumbing owner can apply. - [Pricing](https://plumber.consulting/pricing/): Engagements run on the three Trades.Agency plans, from $1,999 per month month-to-month or $1,499 per month on annual billing, plus GST or HST at your province's rate. There is no long-term contract. - [FAQ](https://plumber.consulting/faq/): The questions plumbing company owners ask most before hiring a consultant, answered plainly: price, contracts, timelines, who owns what, how results are reported and where our work stops. - [Contact](https://plumber.consulting/contact/): Call or text (604) 632-4959, or email Ali@Sedighi.ca. Tell us a little about your plumbing company and the problem you want fixed, and a senior strategist will get back to you. ## Services - [Growth planning](https://plumber.consulting/services/growth-planning/): We build a one-page annual plan and a weekly scorecard of about ten numbers, so you know whether the plumbing business is on track long before the year-end accounts arrive. - [Hiring and team](https://plumber.consulting/services/hiring-and-team/): We help plumbing owners recruit licensed plumbers and apprentices, give every role a clear scorecard, and build a structure that lets the owner step out of the van. We don't give HR or legal advice. - [Marketing strategy](https://plumber.consulting/services/marketing-strategy/): We decide which marketing channels deserve your money, measure each on cost per booked job, and either run the work through the Trades.Agency team or oversee the provider you already have. - [Pricing and profit](https://plumber.consulting/services/pricing-and-profit/): We rebuild your labour rate from what the business really costs to run, turn it into a flat-rate price book, and coach your team to present it. It is usually the fastest way to lift profit without adding work. - [Systems and operations](https://plumber.consulting/services/systems-and-operations/): Work leaks out of a plumbing company at predictable points between the first ring and the paid invoice. We measure each one, fix the biggest first, and set up the office routines and software to keep it fixed. ## Coverage - [Alberta](https://plumber.consulting/areas/alberta/): Alberta plumbing companies work through long, cold winters with sudden chinook swings, in two big metro markets and a wide spread of resource towns. Planning for the winter peak and pricing for travel are where most plans start. - [British Columbia](https://plumber.consulting/areas/british-columbia/): BC plumbing owners face some of Canada's highest operating costs in the southwest and long distances everywhere else. That puts pricing discipline and recruiting at the top of most plans here. - [Manitoba](https://plumber.consulting/areas/manitoba/): Manitoba's plumbing market is centred on Winnipeg, with a heating season among the longest in southern Canada. Winter capacity planning and a strong Winnipeg reputation drive most of the plans we build here. - [New Brunswick](https://plumber.consulting/areas/new-brunswick/): New Brunswick's plumbing market is spread across three similar-sized cities and a wide rural province, with many bilingual customers. Reputation, clear pricing and a reliable phone answer win most of the work. - [Newfoundland and Labrador](https://plumber.consulting/areas/newfoundland-and-labrador/): Newfoundland and Labrador's plumbing market is concentrated around St. John's, with island towns and Labrador communities spread over great distances. Travel pricing, winter planning and staff retention shape most plans here. - [Nova Scotia](https://plumber.consulting/areas/nova-scotia/): Nova Scotia's plumbing market centres on Halifax, with Cape Breton and smaller towns spread along the coast. Plumbing is a compulsory certified trade here, so hiring and verification sit near the top of every plan. - [Ontario](https://plumber.consulting/areas/ontario/): Ontario has Canada's most crowded plumbing markets, especially in the GTA, where ad costs and wages are high. Owners here gain most from precise pricing, measured marketing and a narrow, profitable service area. - [Prince Edward Island](https://plumber.consulting/areas/prince-edward-island/): PEI is a small market where nearly every customer is a neighbour of another customer. Reputation, fair pricing and keeping good staff matter more here than any advertising channel. - [Quebec](https://plumber.consulting/areas/quebec/): Quebec has its own licensing system, its own construction-labour rules and French-language requirements for advertising. Plumbing owners here need plans built for Quebec from the start, not translated from elsewhere. - [Saskatchewan](https://plumber.consulting/areas/saskatchewan/): Saskatchewan plumbing companies work through long, very cold winters in two main cities and a wide rural market. A SaskEnergy rebate on high-efficiency water heaters gives many of them a concrete, honest marketing message. - [Territories](https://plumber.consulting/areas/territories/): Northern plumbing companies serve small, remote communities through very long, extremely cold winters, where a failed water or heating system is an emergency. Pricing for distance and keeping licensed staff matter more than marketing volume. ## Guides and articles - [Guides](https://plumber.consulting/guides/): Three practical guides for plumbing owners who want to run the business on numbers: setting a labour rate, hiring plumbers and apprentices, and running a weekly scorecard. Each one is usable without hiring anyone. - [Hiring playbook](https://plumber.consulting/guides/hiring-plumbers/): Treat hiring as a system you run all year: define the role, make the company easy to find and easy to apply to, score every candidate the same way, verify certification with the provincial body, and plan the first 90 days. - [Owner scorecard](https://plumber.consulting/guides/owner-scorecard/): A weekly scorecard of about ten numbers, each with an owner and a target, tells a plumbing owner whether the business is healthy weeks before the bank balance does. This guide shows which numbers to pick and how to run the review. - [Labour rate guide](https://plumber.consulting/guides/plumbing-labour-rate/): A plumbing labour rate should be calculated from four inputs: annual overhead, direct labour cost, billable hours and target profit. This guide walks through the method, two worked examples and the mistakes that quietly drain margin. ## Optional - [Full text](https://plumber.consulting/llms-full.txt) - [Parent company](https://trades.agency)
