We have already erected new hoarding and installed our site welfare before constructing a new entrance road and undertaking ground excavation works in preparation for the piling activity which will run until November 2025. This is going to be a challenging project on a tight site footprint, beside a busy road and involving a lot of ground preparation to facilitate new basement levels, but we are well prepared with an excellent team on site.

“Farrans has an extensive portfolio of delivering for the care sector across England. In fact, we previously delivered neighbouring property Signature at Hendon Hall for Signature Care Homes so it is nice to be back in an area we have worked in before.”
