WHY MAC GROUP?
The MAC Group Civil Engineering Advantage
Selecting the right civils partner for your project is one of the most important decisions you will make for the project’s success, budget and programme. It’s not about simply appointing a contractor, but choosing a proactive partner who is as invested in the outcome as you are. At MAC Group Ltd, we have a competitive advantage and it comes from three main areas; control, technology and a proactive, solutions-focused attitude. Here is how it works in practice…
01. In-House Control from Start to Finish
Skilled work teams and a simple management structure give you a level of control that most contractors can’t.
Single point of responsibility: From site assessment and excavation to surfacing and drainage, you only have one team, one project manager, to deal with. No time wasted going between companies, finger-pointing when something goes wrong or holding up the programme if one contractor’s delivery falls short.
Quality continuity: As well as accountability, this in-house control and direct management means we apply the same quality standards from start to finish. No reliance on a subcontractor to deliver the quality that we promised and you were expecting. The quality we set out to achieve is the quality we actually achieve, time after time, because it is delivered directly by us.
Better communications: Less people and levels to deal with means you get quicker, more informed decisions and updates, and a more cohesive, joined up approach to problem-solving when challenges arise on site.
02. Advanced Technology for Greater Accuracy
We invest in our own capability because it means we can do a better job for you. It’s not about having the latest kit for the sake of it, we buy it with a clear purpose and a view to applying it to achieve efficiencies for your project. Take our recent acquisition of a fleet of Engcon tiltrotator systems. This advanced piece of equipment is a game-changer.
Accurate and precise: This is one of the most accurate grading machines on the market. Complex grading and trenching tasks are done quicker and more accurately from the comfort of the cab, which dramatically reduces time spent repositioning machines.
Quality and flexibility: The tiltrotator can produce far cleaner excavations so less manual work for teams on-site finishing by hand, while the precision control also allows our operators to do detailed drainage and foundation work with millimetre accuracy. Plus, our skilled teams feel safer using this equipment in any condition.
Direct cost savings: It’s an investment that’s going to drive more productive machine hours, reduce labour costs on site (no one likes an extra day of manual hand-finishing) and materials wastage (less goop means you won’t need to over-order). All of which saves you money or produces efficiencies you can apply elsewhere.
03. A Solutions-Focused, Proactive Approach
There are two types of problems, the ones you solve and the ones that are solved for you. We aim to be the latter with our solutions-focused, proactive approach.
Avoid the avoidable: We deliver across the UK, so we have seen it all and learned from it. We know the substrates we work with, coastal conditions, peat bogs, whatever it is in your area – and we plan for them right from the start in our method statements and pricing. Then our experienced site managers keep an eye out for the unexpected so that when the issues hit, we’ve got the solutions ready and the teams in place to implement them before they can cause problems.
Protect your programme: Our site managers and engineers work hand-in-hand when challenges arise to find practical, cost-effective solutions and apply them as quickly as possible to keep the project on programme.
Mitigate risk: We will de-risk the most important phase of your project through detailed planning and a meticulous approach, backed by years of experience. We make sure you are protected and confident right from the ground up.
”With any project, dates move and timelines of project change. With MACPaving, their flexibility sets them apart from other paving contractors. Their labourers are professional, personable and trustworthy. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality & health safety makes them a very reliable supplier and I won’t hesitate to recommend MAC Group.
