Why McCance

Civils and electrics under one contract

On most sites, the groundworks contractor and the electrical contractor work to separate programmes, and the interface between them, from duct routes to plant bases, is where delays start. We deliver both, so cable routes, draw pits and bases are built for the electrical installation that follows.

  • One interfaceA single contract, programme and site team for civils and electrical packages.
  • Pre-qualifiedConstructionline Gold and SSIP accredited through McCance Construction Ltd. NAPIT registered for electrical work.
  • Live-site experienceOur civils team works on highways, bridges and car parks, where safe working around live operations is routine.

  • Live digital reportingProgress, photos, inspections and sign-offs recorded live on a digital job reporting system, so you can follow the scheme in real time.
  • Rope accessIRATA-trained for high-level containment, lighting and inspection where scaffold or powered access is impractical or costly.

FAQs

For procurement teams

Do you work as a subcontractor to main contractors?

Yes. Most of our work is delivered as a subcontractor to main contractors, and we can take on civils packages, electrical packages, or both together.

Which accreditations do you hold?

McCance Construction Ltd holds Constructionline Gold and SSIP accreditation. Our electrical work is carried out under NAPIT registration. Certificates and insurance details are included in our pre-qualification pack.

Can you work on high-level electrical equipment?

Yes. We're IRATA-trained in rope access, so we can install and service high-level containment and lighting, and carry out EICRs on high-level equipment in commercial and industrial buildings, without scaffolding or large access platforms.

Can you work outside the South East?

Yes. We're based in East Grinstead and take on projects anywhere in the UK.
