The project sees the contractor build two new extensions at the popular 60 bed home, creating additional accommodation for up to 25 new residents.
The fast-track development has been carefully planned to minimise disruption to existing residents and makes use of off-site manufactured timber frame components to enable the fast erection of the extensions. A two-storey structure will complete the fourth side of the care home building, providing en-suite accommodation for residents with dementia. This extension will feature a brick façade and a pitched tiled roof to blend seamlessly with the existing building.
ISG Jackson will also create additional Enablement Care facilities at Belmont View, building a single-storey sympathetically designed side extension, which will house the new five bedroom unit. Existing bathroom facilities and corridor areas within the main building will also be refurbished as part of the project, which is scheduled for completion towards the end of the year.
Stuart Talbot, divisional director for ISG Jackson Special Projects, commented: “We are delighted to be carrying out our first project for the not-for-profit organisation and look forward to developing our working relationship with Quantum Care. Undoubtedly our strong credentials within the care sector proved a key factor in this appointment, alongside our track record delivering award winning schemes for many of the UK’s leading care providers.”
