Over the last decade we have delivered and designed, numerous stand-alone buildings and adjoining centres, built bespoke to healthcare standards.  We understand the scope of work associated with these tailored schemes, from the consideration of patient wellbeing to functionality, and the practicality of installing large specialist healthcare equipment.

MODULAR BUILDS / MODERN METHODS OF CONSTRUCTION

Specialist wards and departments – Orthopaedic Units – MRI Facilities

Whether long term or short term facilities, the installation of modular construction helps reduce cost, time and programme challenges within the difficult hospital and healthcare environment. Whether providing specialist units such as Covid-19 isolation wards or extensions to existing centres, our specialist team have had vast experience in the careful installation and integration of modular facilities in the grounds of a live hospital environment, minimising disruption time, as a high proportion of the works are undertaken off site, whilst minimising the carbon used within the construction process.

INFRASTRUCTURE & SUPPORT FACLITIES

Staff and visitor car parks – Energy Centres

The expertise of our in-house civil engineering and design team, enables us to provide effective construction solutions, helping in the efficient running of healthcare provisions.
