Broadleaves Extra Care Village

Delivered for Newark and Sherwood Homes, the £6 million Broadleaves Extra Care Village in Boughton, Nottinghamshire, exemplifies our expertise in designing supportive and accessible living environments for adults aged 60 and over.

Scope of Work

The project involved constructing a two-storey extra care facility with thirty spacious apartments designed for accessibility and comfort, featuring wet rooms, wider doorways, and underfloor heating. Communal areas include a lounge, laundry room, guest room, TV lounge, hairdressing salon, and a commercial kitchen. Additionally, the development includes ten self-contained bungalows with similar amenities, along with car parking, garden areas, a mobility scooter store, and staff facilities.

Challenges and Solutions

Completing this 156-week project required precise planning and coordination to meet the needs of the elderly residents. Our team executed detailed budget costing, mechanical and electrical designs, and ensured compliance with Part L2 Building Regulations. Utilising Building Information Modelling (BIM), we facilitated efficient collaboration and project management, ensuring that all elements of the development were seamlessly integrated and met high standards of safety and accessibility.

Results and Impact

The Broadleaves Extra Care Village was completed on schedule and within budget, providing a modern and supportive living environment for its residents. The facility's design promotes independence while offering necessary care and support, significantly enhancing the quality of life for its inhabitants. The successful delivery of this project underscores EP Consulting’s commitment to creating functional, safe, and welcoming spaces for all residents, exemplifying our dedication to excellence in building services engineering.
