Official Opening for Building Construction Partnership Project

National design, development and build company; Building Construction Partnership, once again celebrated the early completion of a large project on behalf of Rushcliffe Care Ltd.

The successful project; a refurbishment of Normanton View and Village View Care Homes in Derby along with the construction of a new link block to form one new 80 bedroom nursing home for Rushcliffe Care Ltd was officially opened by the Right Honourable Margaret Beckett, Member of Parliament for Derby South and Minister of State for Housing and Planning.

Glyn Munday of David Ward Associates, York, a leading architects practice specialising in the design of nursing and care homes throughout the country, provided the design and managed the build

The home was refurbished in two phases providing minimum disturbance whilst maintaining maximum residency.  Careful planning was required to ensure continued access to facilities. Security of the residents was paramount and maintaining fire alarm, nurse call, heating and water at all times required careful planning as the system was renewed

Mike Allsopp represented Rushcliffe Care, one of the largest independent healthcare groups in the UK now operating around 1000 beds and employing more than 1250 staff.  Mike worked closely with Building Construction Partnership to ensure residents were not disturbed by the building works and brought a certain amount of humour to the team

Mike stated, “This was an interesting and valuable joint venture in both renovation and continued ‘business as usual’ for all the staff at Normanton and Village View. We would like to express our thanks and appreciation to BCP and DWA for the effort that they have made to bring about this major improvement of facilities for our residents”.

Once again in line with many previous projects completed by Building Construction Partnership, the refurbishment and construction were finalised ahead of schedule.

Brian Bullock, Managing Director of BCP, thanked Mike Allsopp and Glyn Munday for making prompt decisions, providing strong communication and offering regular information. As a professional trio working together; the results were continual programme improvement with high quality standards being maintained.

Brian Bullock would like to thank Rushcliffe Care Group’s Chief Executive Mr Rai, for entrusting BCP with this sensitive project; Mike Allsopp of Rushcliffe Care for working so close with the building team to ensure deadlines were met and Glyn Munday of David Ward Associates for leading the design.
