Technical & Engineering Support
MCT Facilities Group provides technical engineering support for commercial, industrial, office, and care buildings across Birmingham, Nottingham, Manchester, and the surrounding Midlands and North West England. Drawing on mechanical, electrical, and building services expertise since 2016, we cover surveys and assessments, bespoke fabrication, and specialist engineering problems that fall outside routine maintenance.
Key Takeaways
- Three capabilities: surveys and assessments, fabrication, and specialist engineering, backed by mechanical, electrical, and building services expertise.
- Delivered by the same teams already carrying out facilities management, M&E, and compliance work on site, so scoping starts from real building knowledge rather than a cold visit.
- Sits alongside our facilities management and M&E services, for the work those contracts aren't designed to cover.
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited, with electrical work supported by our NICEIC approved contractor status.
- Working relationships with organisations including Towerview Care, Roger Bullivant, M Core / LCP UK, and Hortons.
What Is Technical Engineering Support ?
Technical engineering support is what MCT provides when a building or site problem needs more than routine maintenance: surveying an existing installation before refurbishment, designing and building a bespoke bracket or guard, or assessing an unusual mechanical or electrical issue that needs a proper technical solution rather than a quick fix. It draws on the same mechanical, electrical, and building services expertise behind our facilities management and M&E work, applied to one-off and specialist jobs across Birmingham, Nottingham, Manchester, and the wider Midlands and North West.
Our biggest advantage here is that we’re usually already working in the building. An engineer carrying out routine M&E or compliance work is often the person who first spots the need for a survey or a bespoke fix, which means faster scoping, no time lost introducing a new contractor to the site, and a handover straight into whichever team manages the building day to day.
Who We Support
- Facilities managers need a one-off engineering problem solved without bringing in an unfamiliar contractor.
- Property and estates managers need condition assessments before refurbishment or acquisition decisions.
- Industrial site managers need bespoke fabrication and guarding built around equipment that standard products don’t fit.
- Care home operators need specialist adaptations carried out without disrupting residents.
How a Project Runs
- Scoping. We assess the problem or building and work out what type of survey, fabrication, or engineering input is needed.
- Assessment or design. We carry out the survey or design the fabrication or engineering solution.
- Delivery. Our own teams carry out the work, coordinating around occupied buildings where needed.
- Sign off. We provide the reports, drawings, or certification the client needs.
- Handover. Where the work feeds into ongoing servicing, we pass it to the relevant maintenance team rather than leaving it as a standalone job.
Surveys, Fixes, and Problems We Regularly See
Buildings surveyed before refurbishment. Existing drawings often don’t match what’s actually built, and a proper survey turns up changes made over the years that were never recorded anywhere.
Equipment needing bespoke fixings or guarding. Standard products don’t always fit older buildings or non-standard equipment, which is where fabrication becomes necessary rather than optional.
Technical problems outside a standard maintenance scope. Some issues need a proper engineering assessment that accounts for how a building or piece of equipment was actually built, not a routine repair.
What Determines the Cost
Pricing depends on the type and scale of survey or fabrication work, how much design or assessment time is needed before anything is built, and whether work needs to happen around an occupied building. An initial scoping visit is how we establish this, since two similar sounding jobs can need very different amounts of engineering input. We quote after that visit rather than from a fixed rate.

Where We Provide This Service
MCT Facilities Group is based in Burton-on-Trent, with dedicated coverage in the following areas:
| Region | Core City | Surrounding Areas Covered |
|---|---|---|
| West Midlands | Birmingham | Solihull, Coventry, Wolverhampton, Walsall, Dudley |
| East Midlands | Nottingham | Derby, Mansfield, Beeston, Arnold |
| North West England | Manchester | Salford, Stockport, Bolton, Oldham |
We can support these regions because our facilities management, M&E, and compliance teams are already working in buildings across them.
Our Technical Engineering Support Services
Surveys & Assessments
We inspect the building or system, record actual condition against any existing drawings, and provide a report the client can use for refurbishment planning, feasibility decisions, or compliance purposes. This includes condition surveys, pre-refurbishment assessments, and technical inspections of specific equipment or systems.
Fabrication Projects
Where a standard product doesn’t fit, we measure, design, and fabricate a bespoke solution, brackets, guards, access platforms, or site-specific components, then install it ourselves. This is common on industrial sites and in older buildings where off the shelf parts simply don’t fit what’s already there.
Specialist Engineering
For technical problems that fall outside routine servicing, we carry out a proper assessment and design a solution, coordinating with other trades where a job crosses disciplines rather than treating it as a single isolated fix.
What Makes MCT Different
- Scoped by people who already know the building, since most jobs start from something spotted during routine facilities or M&E work, not a cold introduction.
- One provider for surveys, fabrication, and specialist engineering, instead of sourcing a different specialist for every one-off job.
- Work handed over to ongoing maintenance, so a survey or fix doesn’t sit as an isolated project once finished.
- Accredited and vetted. CHAS and Constructionline cover our contracting standards, and NICEIC approved contractor status specifically covers the electrical side of this work.

Have a Question?
Got a question? Our team is ready to provide the answers and guidance you need.
Yes. A condition survey often turns up differences between existing drawings and what’s actually built, which is worth knowing before work starts.
Yes. Where a survey or fabrication project leads into ongoing servicing, we hand it to the relevant maintenance team rather than leaving it as a standalone job.

You need this service when the work requires assessment, design, or bespoke fabrication rather than routine repair or servicing. Ongoing servicing and reactive repairs sit under our facilities management and M&E contracts instead.
We carry out an initial scoping visit to understand the job before quoting, since the amount of design and engineering input varies a lot between projects that sound similar on paper.
