Royal Centre for Defence Medicine

Longbridge, Birmingham

Seven storey facility providing 180 high specification ensuite bedrooms, catering and support facilities for military personnel, on post-industrial land.

What we did

Appointed as the Client’s Retained Engineer, overseeing Structural and
Civil Engineering designs throughout procurement, construction supervision, and inspection. Primarily involved in tender document production and retained for site supervision, design verification and other tasks. The facility benefits from a BREEAM ‘excellent’ score, exceeding UK building sustainability regulation standards.

 

Structural engineering

We supplied structural designs for cost assessment up to the Tender stage, subsequently retained by the client in a supervisory and evaluative capacity. This involved overseeing site activities and reviewing/supporting on contractor design proposals.

 

Adding Value

Provided cost-effective strategic solution to facilitate the successful execution of the scheme.

The scheme stood out for its unique heightened security requirements across all aspects of the design.
