Care Concern Group, (The Employer) is purchasing the existing 2 storey, 55 bed White House Care Home at Gillison Close, Letchworth and intends to refurbish and adapt the dated 1990’s building to form 50 new care beds with ensuites and enhanced communal facilities. The works are to be carried out in a single phase as the building will be fully decanted prior to commencement.
Neo Projects are undertaking the role of Employer’s Agent on behalf of Care Concern Group for this development under a JCT Design and Build 2016 form of contract with standard Amendments.
The project involves complex refurbishment and adaptions and has been cost planned by Neo to ensure that all client aspirations can be achieved. Neo spent much time surveying the building and have been able to utilise all their experience in complex refurbishment projects to drive and challenge the design team to detail the most cost effective solutions for the existing building adaptions, whilst achieving high levels of specification to ensure the final product is an attractive and high end facility for the new residents.
Partners on the project include Robert Potter & Partners acting as Architect and Principal Designer, Betton Consulting acting as M&E Consultant and LBI Design acting as Interior Designer. Neo have produced extensive detailed feasibilities based upon proposed option appraisals which have enabled Care Concern to strategically budget and plan for future internal specification upgrades.
Works are starting onsite in August 2021.
