Description

J. Harper and Sons (Leominster) Ltd were appointed as principal contractor for the Design and Build of 19 No. Retirement Bungalows for Strata Housing Association. The work consisted of extensive demolition and enabling works to the value of £250,000 including the structured removal of a seven storey accommodation block and associated site clearance together with the delivery of a large adoptable road, mains services, sewers, sewer diversions and footway diversions to accommodate the 19 No. Residential Bungalows.

The Bungalows were constructed for elderly care and included many assisted living features including hoists, nurse call, DDA kitchens and access facilities. The scheme was constructed whilst maintaining the existing access routes to other areas of the occupied site and was delivered on time and within budget, with the project being delivered with a 90% local employment target being fully achieved.

“I would have no hesitation in recommending J. Harper and Sons (Leominster) Ltd for future projects.” – Angela Bird, Employers Agent
