CHALLENGES
Managing occupied buildings
Carrying out construction works in occupied spaces posed significant risks to both the safety of occupants and our relationships with them.
Maintaining critical supply
Heating and hot water are essential for residents. We safeguarded the supply, ensuring any outages were minimal, planned, and communicated in advance.
Navigating stakeholder management & programme constraints
With strict deadlines under the Salix funding, effective relationship management and communication were key to our success.
SUCCESS STORY
Uninterrupted service
Through meticulous planning and phasing, the project was completed with no unplanned loss of service.
Efficient work processes
Our self-delivery model enabled a dynamic approach, allowing us to manage various connections concurrently and deliver on time and within budget.
Social value
By employing local labour and supply chains, we positively impacted the local business ecosystem.
Net Zero Carbon
This project marked another meaningful step towards decarbonising Bristol’s healthcare facilities.
