Mace Construct to become Forco: productivity and delivery lens for project teams
Reviewed by Tom Sullivan
First reported on The Construction Index
30 Second Briefing
Mace Construct, the 35‑year‑old construction arm that split from Mace Consult in March, will rebrand as independent contractor Forco in January while Mace Consult retains the Mace name. The new Forco visual identity, including a logomark designed to signal “forward motion and structure”, goes live on digital channels immediately, with a full website and corporate strategy to 2030 due in January 2027. Executive chair Mark Reynolds CBE says Forco is targeting status as the UK’s “most productive” contractor by 2030, with independently audited productivity metrics.
Technical Brief
- Rebrand timing creates a two‑stage transition: trading name change in January, full strategy only in 2027.
- Visual identity has been prioritised early, with logomark designed for long‑range recognition on PPE and hoardings.
- Mace Consult’s retention of the Mace brand preserves continuity for advisory frameworks while construction delivery rebadges.
Our Take
The rebrand of Mace Construct to Forco comes soon after Mace Consult’s formal separation and CFO appointment, signalling a deliberate move to present two clearly differentiated UK-facing businesses: one focused on delivery (Forco) and one on advisory (Mace Consult).
Mace Group’s recently reported £3.1bn revenue and solid balance sheet provide financial backing for Forco’s ambition to be the UK’s most productive contractor by 2030, which may reassure public and private clients considering long-horizon infrastructure frameworks.
Recent project coverage, such as Mace Construct’s low-embodied-carbon 30 Duke Street scheme and complex crane deployment at 1 Victoria Street, suggests Forco inherits a portfolio that already leans on technical innovation and sustainability, giving it a platform to justify independently audited productivity targets through to 2030.
