Harbour Hospice.

A project many years in the design and conception for the Harbour Hospice team and staff, the spades finally hit the ground late in 2020 to start what would be a 3- stage project over 24 months.

After initially winning the ECI tender, we went on to work through design & buildability options with the design team and finally a full tender price on the design.

Once onsite, we opened up the building and then the tricky work began because what we found was certainly not up to specification or code, so a significant amount of scope was added to the project in the remediation of the steel structure.

With an original programme time of 12 months, and an added amount of scope and Covid 19 lockdowns, we still managed to deliver the completion of stage 1 within programme, which is a credit to the entire team who work tirelessly on the project.

The build project was originally scheduled to take 28 months, our programmed works came in 4 months quicker to the delight of the Hospice team. We know the Hospice team are enjoying their new home and this building will aid the families and patients in their sad times.
