McGoff secures £100m of work in 2021 as it ‘evolved holistic approach to construction’ during pandemic

North West construction firm McGoff Construction said it has secured £100m worth of work for next year.

The Altrincham-based firm said its contracts are mainly for the group’s asset backed operating businesses in the care and education sectors, as well as nationwide roll out programmes in the health care and food retail arenas.

The firm said it has “continuously evolved its holistic approach to design and construction” during the pandemic, investing “heavily” in pre- and post-construction services.

Meanwhile a “partnering ethos” enabled “early client engagement during the feasibility and design phase, ultimately derisking the process for all stakeholders involved”, it said.

Dave McGoff, Director at McGoff Construction, said: “The Covid-19 pandemic has certainly brought challenges to the construction industry and driven change.

“From the outset we made communication our priority, with clients, the supply chain, subcontractors and consultants, as well as with every member of staff, navigating a way through the uncertainty and successfully establishing a clear direction for the business.

“One of the main objectives in the last couple of years, and indeed during the pandemic, has been to become as self-sufficient as possible, which is now very much a reality.”

The firm, which is building the £53m Downtown apartment scheme in Manchester, also said it has “embraced” modern construction methods, and has launched a subcontracted business in lightweight metal superstructures, passive fire protection and mechanical and electrical services.

Mr McGroff said they have “taken the time to review and enhance parts of the business” and has expanded its self-delivery strategies in the last 18 months.

“These new divisions will help us gain further control and drive efficiencies in the delivery of our developments.

“With an uncertain economic period expected, our evolution will safeguard the sustainability of work in the coming months and years.”
