Building construction.

Buildings that shape everyday life.

We’ve spent more than 60 years building the buildings our communities rely on. From schools to blue-light stations and every kind of civic, commercial and industrial building, our in-house teams deliver excellence from the ground up or breathe new life into existing sites through sensitive listed-building retrofit and live-environment refurbishment.

Ready to build.

Framework-ready and fully accredited, we deliver ground-up construction and live-environment refurbishment with our own directly employed teams. We’re safe, compliant and accountable from first principle to handover.

  • ISO 9001 / 14001 / 45001 accredited
  • DBS-checked, safeguarding-aware teams

Education & community.

We have a proven track record of delivering schools, colleges and community buildings across the Midlands, including new build, expansion and refurbishment, often delivered while the site stays fully operational.

From new teaching blocks and halls to whole-school refurbishment, we work to the same tight academic-calendar deadlines as our clients. We use phased logistics and clear segregation to keep pupils and staff safe while learning continues around us, and our team are all DBS checked for your peace of mind.

Blue-light & civic.

We deliver exceptional fire, police and civic facilities to the operational and security standards the emergency services and public sector rely on.

Everything we do – from appliance bays, training facilities, secure yards to 24/7 operational buildings – is designed and built so crews can respond without compromise. As an example, our £8.5m Telford community fire station was handed over four weeks ahead of programme with zero RIDDORs across the build.

Our teams mean your peace of mind for ground-up builds and live refurbishments.

Commercial & industrial.

On time and on budget – that’s the McPhillips’ way. That means delivering offices, warehousing and manufacturing facilities to programme for private clients day in, day out.

We combine new build engineering facilities with heritage retrofit where a client needs both – shaped through early contractor involvement and delivered to demanding environmental standards, with minimal disruption to a working business.

Built for the long term.

What a project leaves behind matters just as much as the building itself. That’s why we set clear social value targets at the start of every contract — including local jobs, training, supply chain spend and community benefit — and report against them throughout.

Get in touch

Yes – it’s something we do all the time. Much of our work is live-environment refurbishment and phased new build alongside operating schools, stations and businesses, with segregation, safeguarding and careful logistics designed in from the outset.

We love bringing much-loved buildings back to life. We deliver sensitive refurbishment and retrofit of listed and ageing buildings as well as new build projects. We’re experts in combining heritage fabric with modern standards and keeping services running throughout.

We hold a direct-award place on the Inprova Public Sector Non-Residential Construction Works framework, are approved on the Westworks and CHIC dynamic purchasing systems and build through a range of Midlands local-authority frameworks, with Constructionline Gold, CHAS, SSIP and full ISO certification behind every scheme.
