Why Partner with HEI Group? The Subcontractor Advantage
For main contractors, selecting a subcontractor is about more than just filling a gap in the project timeline. It’s about finding a partner who aligns with your values, understands your goals, and delivers consistent results. Here’s why HEI Group is the ideal choice:
- Reliability You Can Count On
In construction, delays and unreliable subcontractors can derail even the best-laid plans. At HEI Group, we pride ourselves on being on-site when you need us, ready to get the work done. Our experienced team adheres to strict schedules and communicates clearly, ensuring seamless integration into your project workflow. Whether it’s a snag list in a new-build development or an emergency repair in social housing, we deliver with precision and efficiency. - A Focus on Customer Care
In today’s competitive market, maintaining 5-star customer feedback is critical. For main contractors working in new-build customer care or social housing, snags and maintenance requests can quickly overwhelm customer care teams. Our property maintenance services are designed to address these challenges head-on, offering rapid response times and first-time fixes to keep your clients happy and your reputation intact. - Safety as the Foundation
Safety is non-negotiable in construction. Our scaffolding services, electrical installations, and property maintenance are executed with rigorous adherence to industry standards. As audited members of the Scaffolding Association and NICEIC-approved contractors, we prioritise a secure working environment, giving you confidence that your project complies with all regulations. - Tailored Solutions for Every Project
No two projects are the same, and we tailor our services to meet your specific needs. From multi-level scaffolding for large-scale construction to EV charger installations for modern developments, we adapt to the scope and complexity of your project, ensuring efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Tapping into Industry Trends: Staying Ahead of the Curve
The construction and property maintenance industries are evolving rapidly, driven by technological advancements and changing client expectations. At HEI Group, we stay ahead of these trends to deliver value to our partners. Here are some key trends we’re addressing and how we can help you stay competitive:
1. Responsive Customer Care in New Builds
In the new-build sector, customer care is a differentiator. Homebuyers expect quick resolutions to snags and maintenance issues, and delays can damage a developer’s reputation. Our property maintenance team excels at addressing these challenges, offering services like carpentry, electrical repairs, plumbing, and roofing to ensure a smooth handover process. For main contractors, this means fewer headaches and happier clients.
2. The EV Revolution
The shift to electric vehicles is transforming the construction landscape, with developers increasingly incorporating EV charging infrastructure into residential and commercial projects. Our ChargerFit division provides NICEIC-certified EV charger installations, offering a range of solutions to suit different budgets and project requirements. For main contractors, this is an opportunity to future-proof developments and appeal to modern buyers.
3. Social Housing Refurbishments
Social housing providers face unique challenges, balancing tight budgets with the need to improve property standards and tenant satisfaction. Our experience in social housing refurbishments and repairs allows us to deliver cost-effective solutions that prioritise safety and quality. From roofing and rendering to electrical testing and scaffolding, we support main contractors in meeting the demands of social housing projects.
4. Strong Subcontractor Relationships
As outlined in our previous blog post, “10 Steps to Better Subcontractor and Supplier Relationships,” fostering strong partnerships is key to project success. We practice what we preach, maintaining open communication, fair payment terms, and a collaborative approach with our partners. For independent tradesmen, working with HEI Group means joining a team that values your skills and provides opportunities to work on diverse, high-profile projects.
