UNDOUBTEDLY, our strength lies in team work - that’s characterised by skills, workmanship and an eye for detail from our well-mannered, professional field crews in matching McKeating Builders’ clothing.
A valuable team spirit exists as our joiners and plasterers are all employed directly by the company. Some have been with the company for over fifteen years - and now their sons are joining the team.
They are all fully qualified in their trades and, in the case of our younger members, they go through a Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) apprenticeship. One of our newest members to the team, young apprentice Adam Robb training in his first year of joinery & carpentry at Cardonald College was awarded the title of Apprentice of the Year 2006. Two of our other apprentices also made headlines last year with David Beaton being awarded 3rd place runner up plasterer in the James Birnie 2007 awards and joiner Christopher Campbell making it into the top 27 finalists which we consider a great achievemant by both of them considering the competition attracted over 4000 entrants from throughout some of Scotlands leading construction firms. As members of the CITB all of our staff have a CSCS (Construction Skills Certification Scheme) registration card showing all individual qualifications, including those for Health and Safety.
We are Construction Licensing Executive (CLE) accredited and members of Scottish Building, the Federation set up over 100 years ago to promote the Scottish building industry. We regularly attend its health and safety awareness programmes.
Liam McKeating is a Quantity Surveyor and member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors; Office Manager Anna Beaton’s background is in law accountancy and she has trained with the Hilton Group of Hotels while Company Secretary, Tracey McKeating has managed retail outlets, leisure facilities and airline check-in systems.
It’s a strong team determined to build a client’s vision.
