On Thursday 22 October, Mackenzie Construction held its Structural Refurbishment Day at the Beaconside Conference & Events Centre in Stafford, the first company day since moving into our new Stafford office.

The day brought together Structural Refurbishment teams from across England to share business updates, strengthen working relationships and focus on priorities as the business continues to grow.

The theme was ‘Getting the Basics Right’, built around four principles: Plan, Do, Check and Ownership. Sessions covered business performance and future plans, health and safety, commercial awareness, people and culture, environmental awareness and wellbeing.

Mark Brown, Structural Refurbishment General Manager, said:

“Bringing our teams together in Stafford was a really positive experience. As we continue to grow, it’s important that everyone understands where we’re heading and the part they play in our success. Getting the basics right, taking ownership and supporting each other will remain central to how we work and what we deliver for our clients.”

Thank you to everyone who took part and helped make the day a success.

Mackenzie Construction is renewing a water main at Orchard Park on behalf of Scottish Water. The works sit in a residential area, where the project and its traffic management have a direct effect on local householders and access to their properties.

To keep that disruption to a minimum, the team has adapted how key activities are delivered. During a night shift to complete new water connections, the Distribution, Operation and Maintenance Strategy (DOMs) team attended to keep customers in supply throughout, removing the need for a traditional shutdown that would leave homes without water.

This reflects the everyday work of Mackenzie Construction's engineers, DOMs and street works (NRSWA) specialists across Scottish Water projects: maintaining access to properties, carrying out proactive water quality sampling, managing traffic management arrangements and keeping residents informed at every stage.

As Customer Service Week comes to an end, the team at Orchard Park shows what customer service looks like on site, understanding how the works affect the public and changing the way the work is delivered to reduce that impact.

Thank you to Orchard Park residents for their patience, and to the wider team for their commitment to protecting the continuity and quality of supply for the communities in which we live and work.

Mackenzie Construction is pleased to welcome three new members to the business, who strengthen our pre-construction team.

Andy Walker joins as Senior Pre-Construction Engineer, bringing a wealth of experience from projects in the UK and overseas. It also marks a return to the business for Andy, who first worked with Mackenzie Construction as a Site Agent in 2004 and 2005.

Connel McGlade joins as Pre-Construction Engineer, bringing five years of experience across civil engineering, marine and renewable energy projects in Scotland and overseas, including early pre-construction works and client engagement.

Gregor Gerry joins as Trainee Engineer after a six-week summer internship with the business. Gregor had been studying Mechanical Engineering before deciding that civil engineering was the right route for his career.

The team will work closely together on Scottish Water and Scottish Water Horizons projects, supporting the continued growth of the business. We look forward to watching Andy, Connel and Gregor develop as a team and to the contribution they will make to Mackenzie Construction's future success.

Our pre-construction team is growing, and we have further roles available. If you're interested in joining Andy, Connel and Gregor, find out more and apply at: https://www.mackenzieconstruction.com/careers/

During Element 2 of the Monklands sewer enhancement works, large moving plant and heavy construction activity came very close to a householder's home and garden. The team recognised from the outset that this was her home and personal space, and that the potential disruption called for care, respect and ongoing reassurance.

A strong relationship was built through daily, approachable conversations. The team explained forthcoming works, kept her informed as activities progressed and regularly checked that everything was okay.

Those conversations gave her the chance to raise questions or particular requirements, helping her understand what to expect and stay involved throughout. Her requests were accommodated through site planning and day-to-day coordination, with activities organised around her needs wherever required.

Track mats were laid to protect access to her garden and the road, reducing the risk of damage from plant movements. Practical measures like these supported the team's commitment to treating her property with respect from start to finish.

That consideration continued through to completion. The garden was carefully reinstated, with improvements leaving the property in better condition than the team found it, and potted plants were given as a personal thank you for her patience.

Consistent communication, responsiveness and attention to the final finish are what build trust during potentially disruptive works, and with the communities in which we live and work.
