Working on NHS construction programmes
NHS capital works are a constant, nationwide pipeline: new hospital blocks, theatre and ward refurbishments, energy-centre replacements, decarbonisation retrofits and the rolling backlog-maintenance programme across hundreds of trust estates. Schemes range from multi-year new builds to intense short shutdowns where a theatre suite must be stripped and recommissioned in weeks.
Hospital sites add constraints most projects never see: live clinical environments, restricted working hours in some areas and out-of-hours working in others, tight site logistics, and locations that are frequently in expensive city centres or suburban edges with little long-stay accommodation nearby.
How we house healthcare construction teams
We house M&E crews, fit-out gangs and specialist commissioning engineers within easy reach of the hospital, close enough for 7am starts or overnight shutdown work, far enough to find proper houses rather than premium city-centre hotel rates. Parking for vans and kit matters on hospital sites where contractor parking is scarce; we treat it as a requirement, not a nice-to-have.
Trusts, tier-1s and specialist subcontractors all bill through one company account with consolidated invoicing, which suits frameworks where cost has to be evidenced per scheme.
