Trusted Social Infrastructure Partner

Shaping
environments
and connecting
communities

We help create the infrastructure that enables people to access essential services with ease, move safely through their surroundings, and feel a sense of pride and security in the places they call home. Whether it’s supporting education, healthcare, or public realm improvements, our projects are designed not just to function but to enhance quality of life, promote social connection, and contribute to thriving, resilient communities.

At McCann, we combine technical excellence with a commitment to sustainability and social impact to enhance everyday life for communities across the country, including lighting up city centres and improving access to healthcare and sports facilities.

One project, Funded through the UK Government’s Transforming Cities Fund, involved the modernisation of 250m of Sheffield Fargate’s historic city retail centre, replacing outdated infrastructure with sustainable, accessible, and secure urban spaces.

We partner with local authorities, NHS trusts, public sector organisations, and private developers to design and deliver social infrastructure that meets the evolving needs of modern society and underpins vital services.

McCann understands the unique challenges of working within the public sector, including tight timelines, strict compliance standards, and the need to demonstrate measurable community impact. Our teams are experienced in navigating these requirements while delivering to the highest standards of safety, quality, and sustainability.
