The Power of a Coordinated System: How Uponor Helped Deliver Quality Across 370 Luxury Units
Tasked with installing one floor of residential plumbing every week with 370 total units and 34 variations, The Porter Company, who was chosen based on their commitment to speed, efficiency, and delivering exceptional results, needed a solution that was consistent, flexible, and supported their team.
o meet all their requirements, The Porter Company selected Uponor AquaPEX® with ProPEX® F1960 expansion fittings due to the products’ installation speed and flexibility. To further streamline installation, they partnered with Uponor Kitting Services for a fully coordinated approach to consistent installations.
Coupling Uponor Kitting Services with the Uponor AquaPEX plumbing system allowed The Porter Company to successfully maintain an aggressive installation schedule, deliver consistent quality across 370 units, and reduce labor strain and onsite waste, ultimately providing the developer with a more consistent plumbing installation for the luxury tower.
“Uponor Kitting Services helps improve efficiency more than anything else,” said Jake Huizar, project manager at The Porter Company. “When you're talking about costs and quality, they run hand-in-hand. Being able to give the guys a package and say, ‘Go ahead and run with it,’ makes it that much easier, and it’s another way for us to maintain quality control as we’re installing.”
