Greater Manchester
Construction consultants
serving Manchester
Matthews & Roberts works regularly across Greater Manchester, bringing temporary works, CDM, health and safety and commercial support to contractors and developers on sites around the city.
An area we serve from our Liverpool office, roughly 35 miles west along the M62.
Greater Manchester is one of the busiest construction markets in the country, from the towers going up in the city core to logistics and residential work across the wider conurbation. We support contractors and developers here with the specialist roles that are hard to resource at pace.
Manchester is an area we serve rather than a city where we hold an office. We travel across for site audits, temporary works inspections, progress reviews and duty holder work, and we handle design and commercial work from our Liverpool base. For most appointments that mix works well and keeps cost sensible.
Who we help
- Contractors on city centre towers and frames that need temporary works control
- Developers delivering residential and mixed use schemes across Greater Manchester
- Logistics and industrial projects around the motorway network
- Subcontractors who need commercial and quantity surveying support

FAQ
Manchester questions
Do you have an office in Manchester?
No. Manchester is an area we serve from our Liverpool office. We attend Greater Manchester sites in person for audits, inspections and duty holder work, and we run design and commercial work from our base.
Can you coordinate temporary works on a Manchester high rise?
Yes. We provide temporary works coordination and arrange independent design checks for complex frames, propping, formwork and facade retention, controlling the register and permits to BS 5975.
How quickly can you get to a Manchester site?
We are roughly 35 miles away along the M62, so we can usually attend within the day for planned work and move quickly when something urgent comes up.
