Key Facts:

• The care home consists of a first-floor dementia unit and two separate extra care apartment blocks
• We carried out an extensive cost exercise to come up with cost-effective solutions to bring the inherited unaffordable proposal down in cost, saving our client 12% and allowing the development to go live
• The main features of the care home include a cinema room, a fine dining area, a spacious bar, and an activity room for knitting, arts and crafts etc.  Residents at the care home also have an external raised terrace area for extra space
• The project has been completed to the highest standard without compromise

The Challenge

Extensive cost exercises had to be carried out to come up with cost effective solutions to bring the inherited unaffordable proposal down in cost, saving our client 12% and allowing the development to go live.  The savings made to the build were pumped back into enhancements such as sprinkler protection and improving the already high standard fit out.
