value:

£450,000

scope of work


our team provided expert consultancy for the refurbishment and conversion of a former pharmacy building.


the project included asbestos removal, re-provision of services to extend the health centre area, and an extension to link the previously detached building to the main health centre.


additionally, this complex project involved adding staff kitchen and restroom facilities and upgrading clinical rooms to current regulatory standards


challenges faced


this was a challenging project due to the need to repurpose a detached and separately serviced pharmacy building into a vital office hub and staff breakout space, including linking it to the main building.


planning issues arose due to limited parking availability, and the site had poor ground conditions.


there was also a need to involve utilities providers to rationalise the number of incoming supplies.



outcome


this project demonstrated the diverse range of consultancy services UDC can provide for complex and multi-dimensional projects.


the health centre remained fully operational throughout the project, resulting in increased clinical space availability within the existing facility and a much-needed office base for community teams.


we were also able to advise for the most cost-effective outcome; as the project utilised existing assets and contributed to better service delivery in the heart of the community.
