The M&E problem most main contractors know
The mechanical and electrical package is often let to the lowest bidder, managed at arm’s length, and only looked at closely once something has gone wrong. By then it is holding up the programme.
Main contractors working at a high level cannot afford that. They need an M&E partner who works to the same standard they do, and who brings technical leadership to the package rather than only a price.
What NU MEP brings to a main contract
We have delivered mechanical and electrical works on demanding London residential schemes, on high specification projects with tight design and delivery requirements. Our background includes work connected with landmark Central London developments and government buildings around Westminster. That experience is what we bring to every package we price.
Technical oversight that stays on the job
When the main contractor asks a question about programme, specification or site coordination, the person answering actually knows the answer. Problems get identified early. Solutions get found quickly. Your programme does not pay the price for M&E being an afterthought.
