Building Services at CNG:

Over the past three years, Construction North Group (CNG) has quietly but confidently expanded its capabilities in the UK construction sector by investing in a fully integrated in-house building services team. Offering mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) services directly to our clients, this strategic move has proven to be one of the most impactful decisions we’ve made not just for operational efficiency, but for the quality of delivery, client satisfaction, and long-term project success.

Led by Adam Griffin, an electrical engineer by trade and a highly skilled, technically astute operator, our building services division has grown into a trusted arm of our business. Adam’s leadership, combined with a growing team of engineers and strong supplier relationships, has enabled us to deliver complex installations with precision, speed, and control.

Why We Took MEP In-House

The decision to bring MEP services in-house wasn’t about turning our back on the supply chain. Far from it. We continue to work closely with a wide network of mechanical and electrical subcontractors and suppliers who play a vital role in our delivery model. But on certain projects particularly those requiring tight coordination, bespoke design, or accelerated timelines we saw an opportunity to offer clients a more controlled, integrated service.

By aligning our building services team with our core construction operations, we’ve been able to:

• Improve coordination between design and delivery
• Reduce risk and miscommunication across disciplines
• Respond faster to site challenges and client changes
• Ensure quality and compliance from concept to commissioning

This model has allowed us to take greater ownership of the full project lifecycle, from early-stage design development through to final handover.

Recent Projects: Excellence in Action

Our building services team has been instrumental in delivering several high-profile and technically demanding projects. Here are just a few examples of our recent work:

 What Clients Are Saying

We’ve received overwhelmingly positive feedback from clients, consultants, and stakeholders about our building services offering. The recurring themes?

• Quality of delivery: Our installations are neat, compliant, and built to last.
• Management of the client and design team: We communicate clearly, anticipate issues, and collaborate effectively.
• Technical knowledge: Adam and the team bring deep expertise and problem-solving skills to every project.
• Responsiveness: We’re agile, proactive, and solutions-focused.

This feedback isn’t just encouraging it’s validating. It tells us that our decision to invest in in-house MEP was the right one, and that our clients value the control, consistency, and confidence it brings.

Supplier Relationships: The Backbone of Our Success

While we’ve brought delivery in-house, we’ve also built fantastic relationships with key suppliers across the mechanical and electrical spectrum. From HVAC systems to lighting, fire alarms to energy management solutions, our suppliers have been instrumental in helping us deliver high-quality outcomes.

These partnerships are built on trust, transparency, and shared standards. We don’t just buy products we collaborate on solutions. And that’s what makes the difference.

Looking Ahead: Growth, Innovation, and ESG

As we look to the future, our building services team will continue to play a central role in our growth strategy. We’re expanding our capabilities in:

• Renewable energy systems (solar PV, battery storage, heat pumps)
• Smart building technologies (IoT, automation, energy monitoring)
• Sustainable design and compliance (Part L, BREEAM, Net Zero)

We’re also investing in talent development, bringing in a new team of project managers, engineers and apprentices to support our pipeline and build a legacy of technical excellence.

Final Thoughts: A Model That Works

At Construction North Group, we believe in doing things properly. That means delivering projects that are not only built well but built smart. Our in-house building services team is a reflection of that philosophy. It’s not about cutting corners or replacing the supply chain it’s about enhancing control, improving quality, and delivering value.

We’re proud of what we’ve achieved so far, and even more excited about what’s to come.
