A key element of both the townscape and the economic horizon is the public sector.

In the UK, government departments at all levels are accelerating the pace of reorganisation to deliver marked improvements in efficiency and service delivery to ensure the skyline keeps developing while the economy keeps growing.

The UK Government’s construction strategy is driving greater integration and collaboration – and our way of working, with blurred overlaps between our discipline teams, is well-placed as the better way to make it all happen.

McBains is well-established in the public sector across a range of partnership frameworks or direct appointments. We are recognised providers of property-related professional services to the public sector, with a proven track record in managing change, delivering capital/review programmes and strategic outsourcing – and the inevitable convoluted complexities it requires.

Our skills range from strategic real estate strategy and property finance to the implementation of investment projects, including delivery of agency, valuation, rating and building consultancy services through to planning, regeneration and retail considerations.

But it is not just on the UK public sector stage that McBains plays a key role; we are particularly active and internationally recognised within the PPP arena, and highly-experienced in leading or supporting PPP consortiums across the globe.

Our considerable Public Sector expertise covers every aspect of local, regional or central government requirements - defence, judicial, emergency services, regeneration, infrastructure and housing as close and far from home as Tameside General Hospital and the Mexican prisons service.
