Wheatley M&E Services

Hi Nigel,

I'll be straight — this is a cold approach. We build bespoke job management platforms for M&E and building services contractors.

I came across Wheatley while looking at M&E contractors in Yorkshire and wanted to get in touch. I put this page together first so you can see what we actually looked at, rather than just taking my word for it.

What we found — The business

You've been delivering serious commercial schemes across Yorkshire for over 25 years

Family-owned since 1997, full-spectrum M&E — design, installation, testing and inspection across commercial, industrial, retail, and public sector. The project list is genuinely impressive: a 12-storey BTR in Sheffield, Bierley Crematorium, an 80-bed care home in Cleckheaton, a 402-bed student block in Leeds. Clients including Rolls Royce, HSBC, Carlsberg and the MOD.

The in-house Revit and 3D design capability is notable — most M&E contractors at this size buy that in.

Something we noticed — Operations

How does coordination work across multiple live schemes?

With five or more concurrent projects running at any point — different sites, different engineers, different subcontractors — there's a lot to track. From the website we couldn't see how job scheduling, engineer dispatch, compliance sign-off and subcontractor coordination happens day-to-day.

In similar M&E businesses this tends to run across a mix of spreadsheets, email chains and phone calls. It works up to a point, but it gets harder as the project list grows and the schemes get bigger. It may well be that you have this handled — but it felt worth raising.

A question — Client communication

Your website CTA is a phone number — is that intentional?

There's no client portal, no booking form, and no project update system visible on the site. For blue-chip clients like Rolls Royce, MOD and HSBC, the expectation around project visibility and communication is often high. It's possible you manage all of that directly — but if that relies on phone and email, it adds admin load as the scheme count grows.

Positive — Strong foundations

The project credentials are genuinely impressive

25+ years, family-owned, blue-chip client base, in-house design capability. That's a business that's earned its reputation through consistent delivery. Any platform we'd build would be designed to support how you already work — not add friction to it.

What we could help with

  • Job and project scheduling — multiple live schemes, one clear view for the office
  • Engineer dispatch and site app — job details, compliance checklists and sign-off from the field
  • Design-to-site handover — connecting what the Revit team produces to what engineers work from on site
  • Compliance and RAMS tracking — document management built into the job workflow
  • Subcontractor coordination — assignments, communications and sign-off in one place
  • Labour, wages and reporting — timesheet data feeding through automatically
