Blue help to support continued growth for Macavis Building Supplies

Founded in 2018, Macavis Building Supplies is a family run independent builders merchant supplier to both trade and the public across the South East of England.

The business was set up to run alongside their existing construction company which was suffering from increasing delays from other firms delivering materials onto site. The construction business now works side by side with the building supplies business to become completely self-sufficient.

Based out of their HQ in Dover, the company have grown significantly over the last five years which has led to heavy investment in new equipment over the last 12 months. This investment included a Powerscreen Warrior 1400X screener, Rammer RPV14R pulveriser, OSA GR10 selector grab and DustQuip dust suppression system.

The Warrior 1400X is processing material brought in by the grab hire wagons to remove any concrete and create a topsoil product. The scalping screener is an upgrade from their previous smaller screener. Manging Director at Macavis Building Supplies, John Davis, comments “the new Warrior screener has allowed us to increase our throughput significantly and is also creating a much cleaner product.

We are very happy with its overall performance and low fuel consumption”. The RPV14R pulveriser is being used to process fence posts and any other concrete arriving in that contains rebar. Macavis are using their new GR10 selector grab to sort any incoming demolition and green waste. Whilst the DustQuip jet mister is being used to reduce the dust across the whole yard.

John Davis went on to discuss the company’s recent growth and how Blue Southern have helped support it - “the business has grown from strength to strength in recent years so we felt that it was the right time to pump some money back into the business to update our equipment, ensuring that we are running as efficiently as possible. We have a good relationship with David Williams and Blue Southern, the fact that we can source a lot of our equipment from a single supplier makes the purchasing process a lot more convenient. We have more exciting projects planned and we look forward to continuing to work with Blue in the future”.
