Blanchfield Heating has been honoured with the prestigious Large Contractor of the Year award - a milestone achievement that reflects the strength, expertise and forward-thinking ethos of the company. The recognition celebrates the team’s consistent delivery of complex, high-specification projects across a variety of sectors, including sensitive clinical settings and major academic developments. Award judges praised Blanchfield Heating for its robust in-house design capabilities, meticulous project execution and its ability to collaborate seamlessly with multidisciplinary teams. A cornerstone of the company’s success lies in its commitment to health and safety, continuous staff development and deep engagement with apprenticeship programmes. Blanchfield Heating continues to push the boundaries of mechanical contracting, utilising advanced BIM modelling, clash detection and refined spatial coordination to enhance efficiency and quality at every stage. Its ongoing adoption of off-site prefabrication - from plant rooms to riser modules and pipework assemblies - is helping to elevate installation standards, accelerate programmes and minimise disruption within live environments. The continued trust of main contractors, many of whom collaborate with the company on successive projects, underscores its reputation as a dependable, innovative and solutions-driven partner.
Drawing on the technical expertise and skills of its highly- trained engineers and operatives, Murphy and Kelly boasts a track record of successfully completing complex installations from high-spec healthcare plantrooms to large-scale education projects. Continuous professional development ensures its team stays at the forefront of emerging technologies, regulatory changes and safety requirements. Proven expertise includes designing and commissioning plantrooms, integrating renewable technologies such as air-source heat pumps and applying smart controls to improve system efficiency. A strong emphasis is placed on 3D coordination using advanced modelling software to visualise spatial constraints, detect potential clashes and resolve design potential conflicts. This proactive approach ensures systems are delivered efficiently and to specification without costly rework. Over the last two years, the business has undertaken many projects demanding innovative solutions, strict regulatory compliance and seamless collaboration with stakeholders. Examples include Thomastown Community Nursing Unit, a challenging project delivering primary plantroom services on a tight programme. Through early 3D coordination and prefabrication, Murphy and Kelly assembled plantroom services off site before the building was ready, ensuring seamless installation, improved safety and a high-quality finish.
