What King & Moffatt Building Services does

King & Moffatt Building Services is a privately-held Mechanical & Electrical (M&E) engineering contractor founded in 1978 by Pat King and John Moffatt and headquartered in Carrick on Shannon, Co. Leitrim, Ireland. The company delivers fully-integrated electrical, mechanical, design, controls & automation, maintenance, and offsite prefabrication services across Ireland, the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, and — as of 2024 — North America, with annual turnover stated at approximately €200 million and a workforce in the 251–500 employee band. The business operates from a corporate campus in Carrick on Shannon comprising offices and a 40,000 sq ft dedicated offsite prefabrication facility across two buildings, complemented by offices in Dublin, Wolverhampton (UK HQ), Edinburgh, Frankfurt, and Amsterdam/Schiphol.

The technology backbone is a BIM Level 2 design capability run by an in-house team of 20 BIM Designers that delivers more than €120 million of design-and-build projects annually, complemented by Scan-to-BIM reverse engineering, Virtual Reality design visualisation, and a web-based energy management system ("Advisor") powered by ResourceKraft. The Controls & Automation practice holds authorised system-integrator relationships with Trend, Tridium, Isma, and Schneider, with in-house BMS panel manufacturing. A 80+ strong apprenticeship programme across SOLAS (Ireland) and Birmingham Electrical Training (UK) supplies the next-generation trades pipeline.

King & Moffatt generates revenue predominantly through project-based M&E contracting — as either specialist subcontractor or prime contractor to main contractors, developers, and end-clients — won via competitive tendering and direct negotiation across vertical markets including food & beverage manufacturing, data centres, logistics & distribution, healthcare, hospitality & leisure, advanced manufacturing, and the public sector. Named enterprise customers include LIDL (multiple regional distribution centres), Kepak (continuous relationship since 2002), Arla Foods, GSK, Abbott, DHL, DPD, Center Parcs (Longford Forest, a €233 million development), Combilift, DAA, and HSE. A growing recurring layer sits alongside the project core through "King & Moffatt Connected" bespoke maintenance packages and the Energy Services division covering audits, LED upgrades, solar PV, power quality, thermographic surveys, and ISO 50001 consultancy.
