Positive and regular communication between Total, the Architect and TTHA ensured an excellent project outcome with the project on budget and our residents and staff all enjoying the new facility. Total’s co-operation in observing strict site COVID 19 rules was very much appreciated’.
OVERCOMING CHALLENGES
The construction program was developed to best manage the works and ensure minimal disruption to the residents, staff and visitors frequenting the home, and ensuring maximum bed numbers throughout the construction period.
