Hospitals
We understand that healthcare construction projects bring with them their own set of unique challenges, particularly when working within a live hospital environment. These might include:
- Infection control
- Reacting to changes in bed demand
- Site access
- Working around state of the art hospital equipment
- Minimising disruption to hospital staff
- Patients well-being
We will liaise with the ward sister, the trust and will work with PFI providers to deliver lifecycle refurbishments.
Infection Control
With Infection control being a fundamental concern that healthcare professionals are faced with today, we believe all improvement works in these areas should only take place after full consultation with yourselves and subsequent approval from the IPC team. For us, it’s about designing solutions for you that control infection problems within improvement works. The earlier we can get involved will achieve the greatest benefits for you and your projects.
All our health works are compliant with current HTM (Health Technical Memorandum) & HBN (Health Building Note) guidelines. Safety and sustainability are at the heart of everything we do for you.
Our works
In our experience, the importance of discussions with yourselves to ascertain your particular requirements is paramount. One ward will serve a different healthcare purpose to the next and therefore needs to be treated as such at the design stage, whilst ensuring that the keystone of infection prevention and control is considered at all stages of the works.
Some of the works we have completed include
- Wet room conversions/refurbishments
- Ward refurbishments
- Roof works
- Car parks
- Covid-19 related works – isolation pods, secure storage
Care Homes
From refurbishments to property maintenance, we will work closely and communicate regularly with the various stakeholders every step of the way. With our experience, you can be reassured of minimum disruption with maximum understanding.
Construction work in care homes comes with additional challenges such as noise suppression and planning is required to ensure patients and staff are kept safe and informed of any works going on.
