Commercial Building & Construction
-
Precision In Every Build
We provide complete building and construction expertise, from commercial groundworks to finishing trades. Whether it is an office refurbishment, a retail fit out, or a hospitality upgrade, we integrate renewable heating, bespoke stonework, and compliance with Gas Safe and HETAS standards where relevant. You will benefit from our ability to manage contractors, control timelines, and apply rigorous quality checks at every stage. Our clients know they can hand us the full responsibility and trust us to deliver a compliant, durable, and cost-efficient result.
Case Study: A retail property owner required a phased refurbishment while remaining operational. We delivered full project management, installed renewable heating systems, and kept the store open throughout, achieving regulatory compliance and reducing long-term energy costs.
Benefits That Last Beyond Completion
When you work with us, you gain more than a build. You gain confidence that your project is in safe hands. Tom’s personable approach and our team’s dedication to finishing efficiently give you clear communication and predictable outcomes. Our commercial construction projects reduce long-term running costs through energy-efficient heating integration and robust craftsmanship.
We make sure planning permission, health and safety, and building regulation requirements are handled professionally so you never face unexpected setbacks. You will see the value in a space built to meet your business needs, supported by ongoing maintenance and aftercare options that keep your property performing year after year.
Meeting Complex Building Challenges
Commercial construction projects have specific needs with regard to planning, energy compliance, and need to be carried out in a way which does not impact on your operational continuity for premises which are in use.
“What we see time and again is the risk of businesses grinding to a halt because their builder did not plan properly for compliance or disruption,” says Tom, co-owner of MQS.
We take these pressures away by coordinating every trade, planning permissions, and safety inspection, allowing you to stay focused on running your business while we deliver your construction in the most efficient way possible.

Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Building Construction
Do you handle planning permission and building regulations for commercial projects?
Yes. We manage planning submissions, liaise with local authorities, and ensure building regulation compliance across structural, fire, and energy standards. This reduces your risk of delays and ensures the project meets statutory requirements from the outset.
How do you minimise disruption to my business during construction?
We design phased construction programmes, provide temporary access arrangements, and schedule critical works outside of peak hours. This approach allows your business to continue operating safely and effectively while construction progresses.
Can you integrate renewable or efficient systems into commercial builds?
Yes. We are experienced in integrating renewable heating systems and energy-efficient solutions, including air source heat pumps and advanced insulation methods, into commercial builds. This helps you lower running costs and meet sustainability targets.
What makes MQS different from other contractors?
We combine technical expertise with a human approach. Tom leads projects personally, ensuring transparency, care, and accountability. We are not just contractors, we are problem-solving partners trusted by property owners, developers, and investors across Cornwall.
Do you provide aftercare once the project is complete?
Yes. We provide structured maintenance and aftercare contracts covering building fabric, heating systems, and safety checks. This ongoing service keeps your property compliant, reliable, and cost-efficient for the long term.
How do you ensure quality in complex projects?
We enforce strict quality control with detailed project management, licensed trade partnerships, and compliance inspections at every stage. Our track record across commercial sites proves that we deliver on time, to specification, and without cutting corners.
