Tell us a little about your business
MEA is a practice of Construction Consultants providing Project Management, Quantity Surveying and Building Surveying services. We work throughout the UK for a wide variety of clients in both the Private and Public sectors. Our experience covers new build, refurbishment, alterations and conservation work. How have the last 12 months been for you?
Busy… but in a really good way! We moved from Chippenham where we had been for 25 years to Central Bath. This has proved to be a great move as we are quickly establishing ourselves here and are working with some fantastic new clients. What sets you apart from others in your sector?
We have a reputation for being proactive project team members. We recognise the true value of teamwork - from experience, successful projects are founded on collaboration. What makes working in Bath special?
Bath is a city with a significant number of architects, so it works well on a practical level. We love working in this city. One of the most rewarding aspects is the ability to walk to project meetings. Not only does it mean that we can be there very quickly and easily, without harming our planet, but it also contributes to our well-being by getting the opportunity for a bit of fresh air and exercise in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
