St Johns Hospice 

Project: Internal Alterations, St Johns Hospice

Architect: Cassidy & Ashton

Quantity Surveyor: Thornber & Walker

Location: Lancaster

Value: £820k

Contract: JCT 2005 with Partnering Charter and Open Book Accounting

Duration: 56 Weeks - 4 phases

Following on from the success of the Oak Centre, Team Northern Construction were awarded the contract for a four-phase partnered refurbishment programme of St Johns Hospice, Lancaster.

Each phase had an agreed maximum price and was based on open-book accounting principles.

Works include the comprehensive adaption and refurbishment of existing wards and offices to improve aesthetics and facilities and give the users and staff a much more comfortable environment.

There was extensive design liaison and value engineering between all parties; in particular the M&E installations.  The early contractor involvement approach produced significant cost savings and enabled design issues to be resolved prior to construction phases.
