Project Overview

The new care home was constructed using traditional methods. This was a high specification 78 bedroom care home for Avery Healthcare are, who we are pleased to have worked with previously.

We were delighted to have received the following quote by a member of the public:

This is right by my little ones school and I must say how impressed I was with how tidy and organised the site always was during the construction.

Your people on site were so friendly and cheerful to passers by (myself included) and really respectful of local residents going by and taking children to and from school, and it looks lovely as well”

Challenges and Solutions

Early planning delays prevented a start on site.

However with vigilant operational, commercial and quality management we were able to get the project back on time.

The care home is situated on the outskirts of a busy high street.

Surrounded by neighbours either side and directly opposite is Kings Oak Academy. All deliveries needed to be carefully managed to avoid peak times.
