To earn a good reputation in the construction industry, a company must strive to meet a number of requirements.
That includes exceptional quality of service, efficiency and competitiveness. Without doubt, MGM Construction Ltd. meets those requirements. This company’s reputation is ensured and it enjoys the position of letting its work speak for itself.
Kilkenny-based MGM Construction Ltd. has been providing a high quality service to a loyal customer base for the past 18 years.
Company Managing Directors Martin Murphy and Nicky Maher have worked hard over the years to establish a reputation for delivering on quality and in time.
“Quality is first and foremost for us,” said Martin. “We carry out work in many industries for a number of clients. We attract a lot repeat work which proves that customers are happy with what we do. We have established long-term positive partnerships with client’s consultants across various sectors.”
A commitment to excellence is key to the success of MGM Construction Ltd. Their strong client base has formed over the years and is due to mutual respect, trust and the value that they bring to every project.
“We have worked with many different architects and clients over the years and in many cases have completed repeat projects with the same design team and client,” noted Martin.
The full spectrum of construction services in Ireland is covered. This includes residential, commercial, education, healthcare/pharma, and conservation projects.
Some of the entities with whom MGM has worked include HSE, Dept. Education, Merck Sharpe and Dohme, Glanbia Foods to name but a few.
“We adopt a teamwork philosophy, not only internally, but also with our clients and design teams.
We focus on being the best and try to put ourselves in a position where others want to work with us on repeat projects.”
The strength of the company was evident as they came through the recession and Martin stated that they have learned a lot from that.
“We have emerged from the recession a stronger company. We have a number of key team members who have been with us for many years and our overall team has bonded even tighter through the recession. The hunger and passion to succeed is inherent in our approach.
“Given the history of the construction industry and, in particular, the impact of the recession, it is important that we set our expectations at a level that is sustainable and practical.”
An ability to deliver on price and quality are two key areas of success for MGM Construction. These are aspects they work hard to achieve.
“In order to succeed, you must firstly be competitive in pricing work. The tendering process is highly complex and there is a very fine line between being competitive and being exposed to risk. Each project must ultimately be able to sustain itself and ensure that all of our subcontractors and suppliers are recompensed for their works.
“We pride ourselves on understanding the needs and reaching the expectations of our clients, whilst building a long-lasting relationship”.
Current or recent projects include the following:
– Ladbrokes Ireland New retail/residential Unit
– Ardkeen Hospital New 600 space carpark
– Glanbia Foods Full turn-key office fit out 11,610 ft2
– CBS Secondary School Kilkenny New Extension
– Inver Petroleum New shop and forecourt facility
– Aut Even Hospital Kilkenny New Warehouse and fire upgrade works to Hospital
– Private Client Multi-unit apartment development Carlow
Works on some of these projects were based around a busy environment and client specific needs.
“We specialise in working on projects of a substantial size within a tight timeframe. We focus on delivery without letting standards drop. Your reputation is everything in the construction industry,so it is essential to maintain those high standards.”
Health and Safety is also a key priority for MGM and is the cornerstone of their company culture.
For the future, Martin added that MGM Construction Ltd. will continue to ensure client satisfaction and develop the business further.
