MC Construction is a general contractor based in Manchester that has been a cornerstone in the North West's built environment since 1971. It is renowned for delivering complex construction projects and has established a reputation built on trust, with more than 70% of its revenue coming from repeat business. This multi-award-winning firm specializes in working within operational environments, minimizing disruption while maintaining clear communication with all stakeholders.
Founded by John Purcell and Charlie Lowe, MC Construction has evolved from being a Manchester and Cheshire construction company to one of the leading companies in structural alterations, refurbishments, and new builds. The company operates both in the public and private sectors, demonstrating its prowess in dealing with difficult construction problems through creative solutions and collaboration. This has enabled the company to achieve continuous, sustainable growth and to boast an enviable client list, including Royal Mail Group, the Health and Safety Executive, and the University of Manchester.
Its founding is extremely linked to the life experiences of its founders. John and Charlie realized that there was a deficit within the industry: laborers were normally laid off towards the end of contracts, leading to the loss of experienced workers. They were determined to bring continuity and stability along; hence, they founded the business by pledging them to their employees and clients. Their first project, concrete remedial work for ICI Blackley, set the tone to go the extra mile, which was a business ethos that has remained constant to date and guides operations in the firm.
MC Construction is founded on a bedrock of core values: teamwork, responsibility, understanding, standards, and tenacity. These mirror the commitment of the company to a 'people first' approach in daily business, with ethics at the forefront of every corporate decision, and an uncompromising commitment to exceeding client expectations. It prides itself on being able to deliver quality construction services while maintaining strong, lasting relationships with clients.
In addition to its building work, MC Construction offers a comprehensive facilities management service through MC Facilities Services, covering planned and reactive maintenance, property refurbishment, minor construction works, and disaster recovery. The team provides a positive 'can-do' approach to ensure exemplary service, enabling clients to concentrate on their core business activities.
MC Construction remains a professional organization where its people are at its heart. The company continues to enhance the built environment and improve lives while continuing with its mission to strive for higher standards in construction. Celebrating over 50 years in business, MC Construction remains committed to the vision of being one of the North West's construction company most trusted by clients.
