In the world of building every one is important. From the General Contractor all the way down to the smallest sub, everyone is vital to pulling off a project. So, how important can a bath accessory subcontractor be? Well, actually – pretty darn important. If a subcontractor wins the bid for their part of the work, they are awarded the job and are expected to show up during the project meetings and stay on track with their work.

The bath accessory sub provides quite a bit to the bathroom in a home or public restroom at a hotel or apartment complex. The small items they provide are the paper holder, towel bars or rings, shower rod and robe hooks. These items are relatively easy to install and take a minimal amount of time. The bigger items include the mirror, the medicine cabinet and the shower enclosure. In an apartment setting or public area, industrial paper towel dispensers, soap dispensers, seat cover dispensers, toilet paper holders, grab bars and bathroom partitions are also installed by the bath accessory sub.

A bath accessory company usually does not start work on a project until the very end. The only people who come in after them are the carpet subs, finish painters and cleanup crew. They do have to attend weekly meetings along with all the other subs. They also have to come in early to make sure the prep work and work around their area is done correctly so they can proceed when it is their time. Drywall subs, framers and counter subs quality of work is crucial to the bath accessory sub. Drywall cutouts need to be made for recessed medicine cabinets. If these are not done at the right time or location, delays interfere with the project timeline. Also, back splashes on counters need to be installed at the correct height as not to interfere with the mirror specifications.

A bath accessory sub can also make more money on a project by cutting their own glass for the mirrors and showers. Showers used laminated glass or “lam” for short. The lam comes in as big sheets that is then cut down to spec sizes by the sub. These pieces are then used to complete jobs depending on the size of the pieces needed for the shower. Other tempered glass which is reinforced and strengthened, is used to make the mirrors.
