In line with our commitment to the construction of high quality care home projects, Highwood was contracted to build a stunning close-care scheme of apartments and prestigious care home on a site in Camberley in Surrey for Gracewell Healthcare.
This fabulous care home, Abercorn House, was traditionally constructed over five floors on a sloping site that incorporated basement construction on the lower ground floor. The design included extensive terraces into the structure, with high specification landscaping works and a highways agreement for the site entrance and road improvement works to the exterior.
It is a full en-suite accommodation facility with exemplary communal facilities that include beautiful living rooms and dining rooms and relaxing outside spaces for everyone to enjoy.
Hamilton Court is two-storey apartment building that sits on the existing Hamilton Court site and is now serviced via the new Abercorn House scheme.
The build contract was negotiated directly with Welltower and included the completion of a partially constructed 90-bed care home and 12 assisted living apartments after the initial contractor had gone out of business. Highwood re-appointed the consultant team and some of the original supply chain who had already worked on the scheme to successfully deliver a quality home that met the high standards previously delivered on other Gracewell schemes.
Following a full survey and assessment of the condition of the existing construction, a full scope of remedial works were agreed and construction was completed within ten months with Gracewell Healthcare taking occupation the following month.
