TECS Group is a specialist provider of critical asset maintenance and building compliance services to the Built Environment across the UK. Defined simply, TECS looks after buildings and the people who inhabit them ensuring they are safe at all times.
The types of services delivered include: Fire Safety, Gas Safety, Water Treatment/ Hygiene & Electrical Testing and are covered by strict regulation & legislation.
This means that they are mandatory and it is a legal requirement that they are provided by a regulated specialist technician. The building compliance sector is highly fragmented and has suffered from limited technological development and lack of transparency compared to other service industries. In response to this, TECS has created a bespoke and scalable technology platform that provides real-time compliance data and a single point of contact to all stakeholders, promoting greater cost savings and efficiencies.
TECS Group is headquartered in Bury, Greater Manchester with additional regional offices in Lichfield and London. From these regional operating bases, our engineering base and office support functions service customers in the public and private sectors across the UK.
