Building Services & Engineering

Mechanical & Electrical Engineering Services

Established in 1946, Gratte Brothers Limited is a third-generation family-owned company offering trusted, fully-integrated building services and engineering. Spanning a range of expertise from design to installation as well as management and commissioning, we have over 75 years’ experience delivering resilient engineering within a wide range of sectors.

Our Approach

We provide a truly end-to-end solution for our clients through principal contractor, framework, alliance and service partners appointments and offer peace of mind throughout project delivery as a result of our collaborative, proactive approach.

Each of our contracts has a dedicated project team, formed of directly-employed installation technicians, managers and specialist supply chain partners who are specialists in their field, and ensure the quality of our delivery, through the use of documented processes, from pre-construction to handover.

These teams are committed to the highest quality and safety standards and have a proven track record working across the commercial, data centre, healthcare, education and aviation sectors.

Our project management teams embrace the use of new technology and digital innovation for improved delivery. our leadership team

Our Clients & Awards

Collaboration-First Approach

Instilling a collaboration-first approach as early as possible enables design and M&E teams, alongside wider project team contractors, to forge cost-neutral engineering-led solutions that improve building, installation and sustainability efficiency.

By collaborating early on our projects, buildability is fed to the consultant, in order to develop smarter solutions closer to installation quality at an earlier stage.

Alongside applying engineering solutions, MEP construction and commissioning cost plans can also be prepared, alongside plant replacement strategies.

Maximising Prefabrication Opportunities

Once we are awarded a contract, our project team develops a strategy to maximise the opportunities for pre-assembled and modular construction.

Our in-house, off-site solution raises the bar on standardisation. By adhering to a specific build procedure undertaken by specialist individuals in our controlled environment, we offer consistent quality that could not be matched with a traditional site build.

Our project teams can complete the entire build, testing and snagging period under one roof, within the 23,000 sq.ft of prefabrication facilities, which we have invested in, leaving only final fixing and commissioning as on-site activities.

Modular Solutions

Principal Contracting With M&E Expertise

Increasing client requests to introduce more civil, structural & architectural (CSA) works within our delivery scope has led to our engineering teams being able to undertake principal and general contractor roles on projects.

Initially stemming from our core involvement within the data centre market, CSA works have woven into our delivery criteria, streamlining communication and delivery on projects.

Our dedicated CSA team works alongside a temporary works team, delivering industry-leading temporary works procedures that integrate seamlessly with the M&E delivery.

Customer Satisfaction & Continual Improvement

During the installation phase, our project team closely manages progress on site and communicate both frequently and effectively at regular client review meetings to deliver constant updates in regards to project targets, cost reporting and programmes.

Our ethos is simple: build long-term relationships with clients who share our values and consistently deliver the excellence and continual improvement required to meet individual needs and exceed expectations.

Since continual improvement is a key feature of our culture, at the end of each building services project we conduct extensive customer satisfaction surveys.

Documented team reviews also enable the process, product, technical and service improvements that allow us to maintain and exceed our customers’ expectations.
