Founded by Raymond Bellchambers after leading Tier 1 plumbing work.

BHPS was founded in 1999 by Raymond Bellchambers. Before starting the business, Raymond worked as Lead Plumbing Foreman at The Monkhorst Group, gaining hands-on experience across large-scale building-services projects, multi-discipline trade coordination, and complex site logistics.

That background still shapes how BHPS operates: technically rigorous work, careful coordination, practical problem-solving, and documentation that helps projects reach sign-off cleanly.

What this means on site

  • Coordination with builders, consultants, and other trades on complex sites.
  • Integrated plumbing, hydraulics, drainage, gas, mechanical, and roof-plumbing capability.
  • Commissioning records, certificates, as-installed information, and handover documentation.
  • Practical experience across commercial, aged-care, education, multi-residential, and industrial projects.
Licensed capability

Compliance-led delivery

The job is not finished until the documentation is right.

BHPS works with the documentation discipline expected on commercial and institutional sites: verification, records, certificates, and handover information that clients, builders, and facility managers can rely on.

Handover evidence

  • Installation checklists and commissioning verification
  • Pressure testing and inspection records
  • As-installed drawings and photographic documentation
  • Certificates of compliance, test results, and warranty documentation

Standards referenced

AS/NZS 3500 seriesAS/NZS 5601 seriesAS 1562.1:2018HB39:2015NCC 2022

Standards apply by scope. BHPS coordinates work, testing, and documentation around the relevant Australian Standards, NCC requirements, and project specifications.

A workforce built through training, not churn.

BHPS has grown into a structured contractor with more than 50 tradesmen across project delivery and maintenance divisions. The business places a strong emphasis on training, mentorship, and continuity in the trade.

More than 15 apprentices have been trained and mentored through BHPS to qualified status. Raymond's two sons also trained in the business environment and now run successful independent plumbing companies.

Why that matters for clients.
  • Stable teams understand the standards expected by repeat builders, facility managers, and property owners.
  • Mentorship keeps practical site knowledge inside the business rather than relying only on manuals and checklists.
  • Training culture supports safer work, cleaner handovers, and better long-term service capability.
