DIGGING INTO
GREATER EFFICIENCIES
By Tarren Bolton
GDM Plumbing & Projects (GDM) was established by brothers David and Gareth Buirski in August
2012, when they saw the opportunity for reliable plumbers committed to delivering projects on time
and hassle-free.
O
perating in the greater Gauteng
area, the company specialises
in plumbing — including
water, sewer and stormwater lines,
and mainly trench excavations. With a
focus on providing clients with quick
and professional services, no matter
what their plumbing and drainage
requirements, GDM completes all work
according to national and local by-laws.
The business grew from two
employees and one vehicle in 2012, to 16
employees and three vehicles by 2015.
Then, in 2015, David and Gareth were
joined by younger brother Matt, a quantity
surveyor. Today, the company consists of
over 100 employees and 15 vehicles.

their first Kubota excavator.

objective of ensuring that every
customer knows that they are important
and valued. “We understand that
everyone’s plumbing needs may differ,
and that is why we constantly endeavour
to provide a specialised service, at the
most reasonable price,” says Matt.
This focus on providing customers
with ‘assurance’ of optimum delivery
of services by the most experienced
and qualified people, is one of the main
reasons that GDM invested in their
first Kubota excavator — the U30, a 3t
excavator — in 2016.
“We’ve never looked back,” says
Matt. “In a few short years, the internal
landscape of the business has changed
