“In the British Virgin Islands, a lot of my team is not here,” he states. “I have three plumbers and two electricians on the way. They’ll be here by the end of this month.” His strategy involves leveraging tradespeople from the United Kingdom, the USA, and various Caribbean nations. One of the significant projects Plugworks BVI is gearing up for is the NEOC DDM building. “It’s a hurricane-proof and fireproof building for the government, responsible for storing all the information and data about weather conditions, natural disasters, and stuff like that,”O’Neal explains. This new building will be a critical facility for disaster management, and Plugworks BVI has secured the contract to handle the plumbing. Beyond government projects, O’Neal shares that the company has been involved in numerous residential projects. “We’ve done a lot of different villas within the British Virgin Islands on Virgin Gorda and in Tortola,” he notes. While Plugworks BVI primarily focuses on plumbing, their services are expanding to include electrical and mechanical work. Though Plugworks BVI is a relatively young company—it is five years old—it boasts a team with extensive experience. “The personnel within the company have many years of experience working for different companies throughout their time,” O’Neal points out. This depth of experience positions the company well for future projects, even as it continues to solidify its presence in the British Virgin Islands and prepares for expansion across the Caribbean. O’Neal clarifies that while his company holds a construction license, it focuses on specialized services.“I always do the plumbing and the services for these homes. I don’t do the construction even though I have a construction license,” he says. Instead of subcontracting out plumbing work, Plugworks BVI seeks opportunities where other contractors will bring them in for MEP services.
