The project involved the complete refurbishment of a Listed three-storey country house, including extensions on three sides of the building, and part demolition of previous extensions.

The existing Special Needs Unit and Pool House were also refurbished, the existing Cottage was extended, and a new workshop was constructed on the site.

The parking and driveways were re-organised and resurfaced, the grounds were landscaped, and a new pond created to take the surface water drainage.

The project was a fast-track exercise, where P+R Associates were instructed in April, on a 10 week programme, so that tenders could go out in July with full construction drawings, for commencement on 1st October. The works were completed 7 months later.

The works included the provision of a new bespoke steel framed conservatory, new catering kitchen, new changing facilities, an upgrade of all of the insulation, improved fire precautions and means of escape, and upgraded sanitary accommodation, and finishes, throughout the building.

P+R Associates were instructed at sketch design stage, to prepare all of the construction information in consultation with the Clients Representative and the Project Manager, and obtained new Planning Permissions simultaneously with provision of the construction drawings.
