Precision Plumbing

What Precision Plumbing does

Precision Plumbing & Service, LLC is a privately held, family-founded full-service commercial and industrial plumbing contractor headquartered in Matthews, North Carolina, operating since 1981. The company provides new construction, up-fits, renovations, medical gas systems, and underground utility plumbing for healthcare, commercial, industrial, institutional, educational, recreational, and data center end markets, with a stated geographic focus on the Carolinas (North Carolina and South Carolina). The core service offering is delivered by 101-250 employees through an enterprise field-sales motion that bids plumbing scopes on construction projects led by general contractors including Rodgers Builders, JE Dunn, DPR, Brasfield & Gorrie, Swinerton, Vannoy, and joint-venture partners such as Holder/Edison on the Charlotte Douglas International Airport Central Energy Plant.

The company operates an integrated technology stack spanning an in-house Building Information Modeling (BIM) team, Trimble layout operators, OpenSpace 360° jobsite documentation, drone-based orthomosaic mapping, and an in-house prefabrication shop that cuts and assembles pipe spools off-site. These capabilities support clash detection, layout precision, and quality control on complex projects including multi-phase healthcare expansions (Atrium Health bed towers, McLeod Health, Katie Blessing Center), industrial plants (Giti Tires, KSM Castings, LANXESS), major venues (Truist Field, Spectrum Center), airports (Charlotte Douglas), zoos (NC Zoo, Riverbanks), and mixed-use developments (Legacy Union).

Revenue is generated through project-bid professional services contracts awarded by general contractors, with no standard pricing tiers, no public rate card, and no disclosed external funding. The business model is complemented by a four-year in-house apprenticeship program producing journeyman plumbers, comprehensive OSHA-grade safety training, and formalized Virtual Construction and Prefabrication service lines. The company is led by President Justin Elliott (in role since 2018, with the company since 1999) and a leadership team of VPs overseeing Construction, Operations, Business & HR, Preconstruction & Estimating, and Virtual Construction, with a CFO and a Director of Safety & Logistics.
