    Construction Support Services FAQs

    Delivering safe, compliant, and efficient construction projects involves far more than the core building works. Construction support services are vital in ensuring programme success, from scaffold design and access planning to internal fit-out, MEP installation, and landscaping. Below are some frequently asked questions designed to help clients and stakeholders understand the value of integrated support services and make informed decisions to protect the safety, performance, and delivery of their projects.

    Why are integrated construction support services better for projects?

    Managing construction support services through a single provider reduces risk, cost, and delays. Integrated delivery improves coordination, simplifies communication, and ensures consistent standards across access, MEP, fit-out, groundworks, and hard and soft landscaping, especially critical on live or complex commercial sites. Qualified, experienced, and accredited personnel support our construction trades services.

    Do scaffold and access systems need to be designed by qualified professionals?

    Yes. Qualified professionals must design, install, and inspect scaffold and access systems for commercial and high-occupancy environments. As an NASC Member, our scaffold solutions meet the highest industry standards, ensuring safety, compliance, and operational efficiency on every project.

    What does MEP include on a commercial construction site?

    MEP stands for Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing. It covers heating, ventilation, lighting, fire alarms, data cabling, and water supply systems. Coordinated MEP installation ensures energy performance, safety compliance, and functional building operations.

    What internal fit-out services do commercial buildings require?

    Internal fit-out services include suspended ceilings, fire doors, partitions, flooring, joinery, painting and finishes. These elements improve fire protection, layout efficiency, and occupant experience. A professional building fit-out also ensures that materials and systems meet building regulations and safety codes and provide sustainability and longevity.

    What's the difference between civils, groundworks, and hard and soft landscaping?

    Civils and groundworks refer to the essential substructure works that prepare a site for construction, including foundations, drainage, ducting, kerbing, and setting levels. Hard landscaping covers permanent surfaces and structures like paving, roads, retaining walls, and edging, and soft landscaping includes planting, turf, trees, and green spaces. Effective coordination of all elements is essential, as they influence site access, service connections, compliance with planning conditions, and the external environment's final aesthetic and functional quality.

    What should facilities managers expect at handover for construction support services?

    It's essential that facilities managers receive clear, structured handover documentation covering installed materials, system specifications, warranties, and ongoing maintenance requirements. Starfish Construction prioritises material selection based on durability, compliance, and whole-life value. Our handover packs include as-built drawings, asset registers, and maintenance guidance to support long-term building performance and simplify FM responsibilities post-project.
