Why you Need to Hire an M&E Contractor

  1. Home | News | Post | Why you Need to Hire an M&E Contractor

If you have found yourself questioning whether you need an M&E contractor, you have come to the right place.

Here at Kiasu Workforce, we are London’s boutique property maintenance and commercial building projects company, and we offer expert mechanical and engineering services. But why should you care or want to hire us?

To help you with all the answers to your M&E contracting questions, we have put together an all-you-could-need guide to M&E contracting. From what it is to why you need it, we are sure we have all the tips and advice you need to make an informed decision.

What is M&E contracting?

To understand why you need an M&E contractor, it’s crucial to delve deeper into their role and how they help maintain your property.

If you own a building, you might have heard the term ‘M&E contractor’. A specialist contractor such as this will handle the mechanical and electrical systems within a building. Hence the name ‘M&E’.

Ultimately, they will ensure that critical areas of your business are working effectively. So, what types of systems can M&E contractors keep in check for you?

Well, they can be involved in everything from heating and ventilation systems to all elements related to health and safety within your property. M&E contractors are also often known as building service engineers.

They can handle everything from fire safety, the energy supply, the building control system and even ICT networks throughout the building. Drainage, plumbing and lighting issues can also be handled by an M&E contractor.

4 Reasons you need an M&E contractor

Now you know what the role of an M&E contractor is, it’s time to move on to why you need to hire one. We have put together the top four reasons you need an M&E contractor to help put the role into a little more perspective on how it will benefit you.

1. Keeping your building safe in the event of a fire

One of the most important aspects of fire safety is ensuring that occupants of the building are provided with the warnings that they need to get out of the building safely.

An M&E contractor can help here by ensuring that the right alarm systems are installed and working effectively.

As well as the initial alarm set up, the contractor can ensure that they will work efficiently in the event of a fire. An M&E contractor can also ensure that a full working ventilation system is operational in your building. This is another key aspect of safety and ensuring that the building is suitable for occupants.

2. Ensuring your business is up to code

It’s important to be aware that buildings must be set up to adhere to strict health and safety regulations, and an M&E contractor can help with this. When you undertake any building work or maintenance, an M&E contractor can ensure that your building is always up to code and help you avoid liability issues.

3. Preventing issues before they emerge

M&E contractors can also be responsible for making sure that issues never crop up on your property. For instance, they can conduct PAT testing, which ensures that portable electrical devices are safe and working correctly. If devices like this are not checked, they could actually be the cause of a fire. For this reason, it is no exaggeration to say that hiring an M&E contractor could prevent disaster.

4.Keeping your building secure

An M&E contractor can also guarantee that your building is set up to remain both safe and secure. Having a trusted contractor in the role can ensure that key security elements are in place throughout a building.

They will also guarantee that electrical locks throughout your business are fully functional and that there are no gaps in your security.

Hiring an M&E contractor

We hope that our guide has helped you to understand why an M&E contractor is such a vital hire for any building owner or business owner. Using their services will allow you to make sure that your business is both safe and secure. As well as this, systems will remain operational and any problems can be resolved quickly and without delay by a fully trained expert.
