Article Abstract:

Mechanical and electrical (M&E) work within the construction industry of the United Kingdom accounts for 22% of employees on project-based work, although a contracting market survey shows that less subcontracted labour is used than in other specialist areas. The survey concluded that half of M&E work is directly arranged by the client, 15% of the work is design and build, M&E contractors are not depended upon in the construction industry and of the 0.25 million employees in the country, about 33% are self-employed.
