Achieving milestones
Throughout the programme we worked in conjunction with the contract administrator to ensure key stage quality checks were undertaken and sign off by building control was achieved. The project was delivered to the delighted resident with zero defects at handover.
Service Delivery
Our resident liaison officer worked with the new resident and the occupational health team to ensure all the needs of the resident were considered at each stage of the project. A full range of paint options were offered to the new residents allowing them to personalise the colours of each room. The kitchen was designed to allow the resident full access to the sink, workspace, oven and living area.
