At Grosvenor House, we pride ourselves on providing high-quality virtual office services to a diverse range of clients, and MES Building Solutions has been with us since 2021. As an established and environmentally conscious building consultancy, MES is dedicated to helping the construction industry navigate complex compliance and planning challenges.
We recently had the opportunity to speak with the team at MES about their journey, goals, and experience with Grosvenor House – here’s what they said:
About MES Building Solutions
MES Building Solutions has been a key player in the building consultancy industry for nearly 20 years. Specialising in finding cost-effective, practical solutions for building compliance and planning issues, they work closely with their clients to help them “build well for less.”
They explained that they “employ highly qualified and approachable staff from a variety of backgrounds, including building design, engineering, planning, renewable technologies, and more“. Their combined expertise allows them to tackle the challenges of modern construction and development with confidence.
Their commitment to sustainability is clear, as they mentioned one of their biggest goals is “to assist the construction industry to become more sustainable.” It’s a mission we at Grosvenor House admire, and we’re proud to support businesses like MES that are working towards a greener future.
Facing Challenges in a Changing Industry
The construction industry has been evolving rapidly, and MES has not been without its challenges. “Changing regulations, adapting quickly, and making sure our clients are up to date with industry updates” were highlighted as the biggest hurdles the business has had to overcome. However, their team-oriented approach has helped them navigate these shifts.
“The best piece of advice we’ve been given is to use the talents and skills of all those in the team to solve each issue. We all come with a different approach, and each one is valid.”
This adaptability proved vital during the pandemic, which posed significant obstacles for everyone in the industry. When asked what they would tell their past selves five years ago, the MES team responded, “COVID was a huge challenge. I would tell myself to keep going, to ensure the health of all our staff, and to adapt to a different working environment.”
It’s a testament to their resilience that they not only weathered this storm but continue to thrive in the ever-changing landscape of construction.
A Day in the Life at MES Building Solutions
The team at MES operates with a flexible model, balancing office-based work with remote working where needed. Their daily routine involves the usual 9-5, but their flexible work-from-home model has been instrumental in maintaining productivity and work-life balance. And, like many of us, they couldn’t do without Outlook to keep their schedules and communications running smoothly.
They also keep things fun in the office with an interesting addition—”We all love a game of table football and have a table in the office.”
Partnering with Grosvenor House
We were thrilled to learn that MES first discovered Grosvenor House through a simple Google search and have since utilised our virtual office services and conference room hire facilities. When asked about their experience, they said, “The service has always been great,” which is wonderful to hear and a testament to the hard work that the Grosvenor House team put into every interaction we have with small and growing businesses.
At Grosvenor House, we strive to offer a professional, convenient space that helps businesses like MES focus on what matters most—growing and succeeding in their industry. Our flexible conference rooms available for hire provide the perfect setting for meetings, especially for those without permanent or accessible office space, and our virtual office services ensure that clients like MES have a prestigious address without the overheads of a physical office.
