Why Property Developers Choose Our Live Tap Services
Water meter installations on new developments aren't something your regular plumber can handle. It's specialist work that must be done by inducted, licensed plumbers with specific experience in hot tap water meter connections. That's exactly what we do, day in and day out.
We've installed hundreds of water meters for developers across southeast Queensland, including both manual meters and our new branded wireless water meters. From small dual-occupancy builds to medium-sized unit complexes, we understand what size water meters your development needs, and we are experts at handling the entire installation process.
Modern Metering Solutions For Developments
We now offer our own branded wireless water meters alongside traditional manual options. These wireless water meters provide developers with modern technology that allows for both manual reading and remote monitoring capabilities when needed. This flexibility means your development stays current with evolving technology while maintaining reliable, proven metering systems.
Looking to retrofit water meters into existing units or townhouses? We handle those installations too, helping body corporates split water usage fairly between tenants with either manual or wireless solutions.

Beyond the physical installation, we manage all necessary applications for any water meter connections that new developments require. One set fee covers everything: applications, approvals, installation, and certification. You deal with us, we handle the paperwork.
Our licensed plumbers carry all required insurances and hold current certifications for every area we service. When property developers need water services from plumbers who understand development timelines and requirements, they need specialists who do this work every day.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Most single-meter installations take one day. Multi-unit developments requiring several meters typically need two to three days, depending on site access and the number of connections required. We'll provide accurate timeframes after reviewing your Development Application requirements.
Manual water meters require physical reading on-site, while our branded wireless water meters offer the flexibility of both manual reading and remote monitoring capabilities. Wireless meters can streamline property management for multi-unit developments, making them increasingly popular with forward-thinking developers. We'll help you choose the best option for your specific development needs.

Our fixed fee includes preparing applications, liaising with relevant authorities, and ensuring all documentation meets Development Application requirements.

Absolutely. Under-road boring is routine for us. We locate all services, bore under the road to install a protective sleeve, then run your water connection through it. This method avoids road excavation and minimises disruption to traffic. It's one of our most requested services for developments where the water main sits opposite the property.
