Commitment to Quality

We are committed to providing a range of services that can both identify and meet an individual client’s specific needs. Where appropriate, we establish strategic links and work with specialists and other companies in order to form teams or consortia to address our customer's needs. We ensure at all times that the qualifications; experience and approach of teams or consortia fit the customer's needs and that all our work is regularly reviewed.


Assignments undertaken include:

  • feasibility studies
  • preparation of the client brief for capital projects
  • support for PFI bids
  • assessment of PFI project proposals / business cases
  • development of SOC, OBC and full business cases
  • development of estates strategies (which align service delivery with capital in order to improve quality of service and reduce costs)
  • strategic options development
  • health planning, including schedules of accommodation and room data sheets
  • service delivery strategy development
  • service audit
  • demographic analysis and supply / demand evaluation


    • Our work has received national recognition for ‘innovation in estate strategy’ from the ‘Building Better Healthcare Awards 2001’


    Health Planning

    Our approach to health planning for capital projects takes account of service strategies, care models, and functional relationships. As a result, a clear understanding of the Trust's needs is established to inform the design. This is achieved by working with clinicians and service managers in order to identify current and future patterns of service delivery criteria. This acts as the basis for the development of focused operational policies, service delivery criteria and appropriate schedules of accommodation. A strategic overview is also produced which sets the context for the development and addresses hospital wide issues. The benefits include clarity of client brief and thus design requirements, agreed service and corporate level requirements and a reduction of project delays.

  • acute hospitals
