as smoothly without the help of South Eastern Health and Social Care Trust Project Manager, Greg McDougall, and the Estates team.” The project started just before the first Covid-19 pandemic lockdown in March 2020, and was affected in many ways afterwards by the effects of the pandemic on both labour and supply of materials. “We all had to adjust to a new way of working during the construction period. However, everyone embraced the new working methods and overcame any issues that were presented,” said Kevin. This resulted in many activities having to be constructed out of sequence and in slightly different ways to keep the job moving forward. “These changes to the programme - and sometimes materials - could not have been easily carried out without our close working relationship with our clients’ representatives and the in-depth knowledge of the project architect Conor McCavitt fromWhittaker & Watt architects,” said Kevin.
He added, “We have an excellent reputation, earned over many years of handing over prestigious projects, all completed to a high standard. This scheme, delivered during challenging times, ranks as a project that we are extremely proud to have been involved in and take immense satisfaction in delivering to the Trust and Macmillan. “It is a critical facility, and we knew from the moment we were awarded this major contract that we had a challenge on our hands, but we immediately set about establishing critical paths in our programme and sourcing our supply chain, materials and products to be able to deliver on a time critical project. “We feel privileged to have been involved as part of an excellent team, we were all extremely focused on delivering this facility to an extremely high standard. We are extremely proud of what we have achieved.”
