With M&P Services
Revolutionising the experience of working, training, learning and living in remote locations is at the forefront of business development for M&P Services QLD. This solutions based transportable building manufacturing company brought their signature ‘Mobile Crib Rooms’ into the market 18 years ago and the company recently secured a contract for the 275th Mobile Unit.
The product is the clear market leader in off-road fully self-sufficient Mobile Units. Increased employee safety, comfort and productivity are all direct benefits of implementing the right mobile solution on your site.
Fitted with everything from safety equipment to ice machines, toilet facilities, kitchenettes and modern office spaces, the ‘Mobile Crib Rooms’ provide a completely transportable self-sufficient headquarters for almost any location for mining, civil, construction and agricultural sites.
They have a purpose-built transport fleet designed to be able to deliver and unload the product almost anywhere in Australia. The whole design and manufacture is done onsite at their Diesel drive factory, including the manufacture of the heavy duty off road mobile base.
“In most cases with the correct implementation and activation the asset purchase is cost neutral,” shared Max Jr from M&P Services.
The mobile product has in recent times been adapted to large cattle stations, mobile construction camps and emergency disaster zone rapid deployment base stations and triage rooms.
M&P Services began its life as M&P Autos in 1986, has always been a locally owned and operated business which has since adapted and evolved in line with changing market conditions brought on by the ebb and flow of the economy and sector requirements.
Along with standard modular and transportable buildings for both hire and sales, the company has a unique range that is designed to be superior within the marketplace. Mobile Crib Rooms, full solar mobile toilets, self-weighted (engineered) buildings, Combo tm units, off grid options, tie-down solutions and many more.
“These designs allow the client to experience some real cost savings over the life of the project. As soon as they understand the benefits of using our products within their site they generally become repeat customers,” explained Max Jr.
“Our products are used all over Australia mainly in Qld, WA, NT and NSW along with Lihir Island (PNG) and New Caledonia.”
“We have implemented a continuous improvement process so we can remain leading the market in innovative premanufactured, modular and transportable solutions.”
The company plans to move into the Class 1a (residential) late this year early next, a move that will be underpinned by the existing and foreseeable housing crisis.
“We have some really exciting product features coming up in our LQ (living quarters) Range”.
M&P Services has a large range of static and mobile equipment within the Hire Fleet including Mine Site Compliance units, fast and efficient engineered tie down solutions. Site office, crib rooms, training rooms, class rooms, pre start areas, covered decks, toilet and shower blocks, canteens etc.
“We have over the last 12 months simplified our designs allowing for increased stock holding allowing us to control lead times,” stated Max.
“For example, an open plan office 12m x 3m has a current lead time of three weeks with the average lead siting at eight weeks.
“Shorter lead times, location and competitive pricing is driving our current growth”
“This year we celebrate over 10 years in our Diesel Drive, Mackay factory. We are now the largest manufacturer of transportable buildings in central and northern Queensland. We have an amazing team of dedicated long term management and operations staff committed to delivering the best possible product to the market.”
“We have such a dedicated team at Diesel Drive and we all share the common goal of customer focus. My job is so much easier thanks to the commitment of long term employees we have fostered.”
The future is looking buoyant at M&P Services, four years removed from the sale of their transport business assets, their growth within the manufacturing and portable building industry has exceeded expectations year on year since.
