Our Approach
At Meel Group Projects our focus is on you, the client. We understand that no project and no client are the same. Importantly, we take the time to understand your objectives rather than simply agreeing to a list of tasks. Using a structured approach, we find the best options for a coherent solution where every element works together effectively.
No matter how complex the job, we tie together every detail, with our project managers liaising closely with you to plan schedules of work that take account of your operational needs.
Thanks to our wealth of experience, we spot issues quickly and resolve them without fuss, identifying creative solutions to even the most challenging problems.
Our on-site people are supported by a skilled and experienced team of estimators, designers, project managers and engineers, creating a joined-up approach that increases efficiency and provides cost-effective results.
Price, social value, quality and safety are our watchwords.
Our client list includes leading main contractors such as Cumberbirch, Carefoot, DH Welton, Warden and Novus plus public sector bodies including Stockport NHS Foundation Trust and East Cheshire NHS Trust.
Meel Group Projects are proud to be an NHS SBS Framework contractor for Hard Facilities Management. We were awarded the framework agreement in April 2022.
