Healthcare

We deliver complex acute hospitals, specialist treatment centres and multi-phased refurbishments in live clinical environments across the UK that facilitate transformative healthcare delivery for patients and staff.

During the last 25 years we have delivered more than 1.25 million m2 of new and refurbished hospital space in the UK (more than 1.5 million m2 internationally), across more than 75 healthcare projects. This has included more than 5,000 acute beds, 140 theatres, 135 imaging spaces and 70 laboratories.

Our integrated capability combines healthcare planning, digital engineering and modern methods of construction through self-delivery of in-house offsite manufactured solutions for building substructures, structures and MEP services. This approach combined with the use of digital tools and approaches helps improve engagement, shorten programmes, assure quality and maintain safe, uninterrupted hospital operations. Our teams work directly with clinicians and estates teams to plan spaces, meet healthcare technical standards, enable commissioning and provide soft landings to support safe operational commencement.

We deploy offsite manufacturing at scale to improve safety, reduce person hours on site and compress programmes. We have delivered subsequent record-breaking fastest hospital builds in the UK, as well as major new build hospitals with zero defects.

Our place on the New Hospital Programme’s Hospital 2.0 Alliance Framework puts us at the centre of future major hospital delivery in the UK. We will continue to champion standardisation and the modern methods of construction that we have advocated, developed and delivered over the last two decades. We also have a 15 year history as a Principal Supply Chain Partner (PSCP) on iterations of NHS England’s ProCure framework, delivering more than 25 projects to date.

About the healthcare sector

We design and deliver world class healthcare facilities by engaging early with our clients, clinical staff and patient groups.

Using modern methods of construction we are transforming how new hospitals are built - and delivering a higher quality and more flexible product in less time.

Over the past decade we have honed our DfMA approach within the healthcare sector, improving productivity and quality and shortening delivery times. In November 2020 we handed over The Grange University Hospital in Wales to the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board four months early and with zero defects. This was made possible through the power of our experience in modern methods of construction.

Keir’s experience spans both public and private sectors, from health promotion in the NHS, working directly with public health leadership and reporting to NHS England, through to business development for an international law firm, securing positions on FTSE 100 legal panels and developing bespoke product offerings. Over more than a decade in Clients & Markets at Laing O’Rourke, he led major bids and opportunity proposals, helping to secure some our largest projects across all sectors and frameworks. As part of that work and in his current role he invests time to understand our clients and build enduring, two-way relationships with peers.
