Building efficient, patient-focused healthcare facilities
Across the UK, our track record in building bespoke healthcare facilities is evident.
Exceptional healthcare is vital for our communities. Our complex remodelling, new build health hubs and comprehensive site infrastructure projects optimise the value of estates. They also keep critical facilities operational and minimise disruption to patients and staff.
We achieve this through meticulous stakeholder engagement, transforming tired estates, underutilised spaces, and building hospitals that are smart, energy-efficient, and versatile.
What we do
Key elements of success
We bring our agile thinking, bespoke design, and construction knowledge and couple it with your understanding of local care needs.
Our Healthcare team specialise in acute and non-acute healthcare facilities, from new builds and extensions to service upgrades. We work closely with stakeholders to refine design and delivery.
Through early engagement, procurement strategy, and our expert guidance, we craft solutions tailored to your clinical needs, ensuring minimal impact on your programmes.
With cross-sector expertise spanning the full delivery spectrum, our team collaborates closely with public and private sector clients, providing a one-stop service through trusted design partners – from strategic and business case development to estate planning, design, and construction delivery.
Whether it’s the delivery of a complex refurbishment or a new healthcare setting, patient care is paramount.
Working in partnership with clinical and estate teams, we ensure the patient’s needs are fully integrated into our construction solutions. We work with you to develop delivery methodologies, phasing strategies, robust commissioning, and smooth decant and recant solutions that support care and capacity requirements.
Our approach combines top-down leadership with ground-level insight, meaning our project leads develop solutions that are strategic and practical.
We bring forward our entrepreneurial spirit, freshness, and energy to find the right solution for your project. We’re adaptable and there’s no pre-set delivery plan, and we always take an open-minded view.
Whatever the procurement route, we understand the ultimate goal is ensuring maximum output for your patients and value for money.
Our strategic and specialist supply chain utilises modern methods of construction. And our excellent relationships with design organisations and engineers enable us to work in an integrated manner and generate best practices.
Through our early engagement offering, we provide route-to-market recommendations on procurement strategy and design responsibilities. As a construction partner on regional and national frameworks, we’ll steer you through the early stages, assembling the design teams, advising on buildability, and providing cost recommendations. Many of these frameworks offer compliant and proven direct award options, which we can guide you through.
McLaren has a proud track record of delivering heritage hotels for long-standing customers with portfolios that contain historic and listed buildings. Our experience covers procurement and engaging stakeholders to deliver sometimes challenging works with a limited range of skilled suppliers.
Our specialism is refurbishment to create modern and efficient spaces that enhance a historic building and make it workable. Our Heritage Steering Team help to build the supply chain, always with an eye for cost efficiencies despite the challenging marketplace and the reality of shortages of skilled heritage contractors.
For all hotel construction projects, we provide full visibility of how every aspect will impact on live business operations, maximising efficiencies and protecting the guest experience, reputation and revenue stream at all times.
Our works dovetail with the operation of a live hotel so that interaction between sub-contractors, hotel staff and guests is planned to avoid disruption and disturbance.
Room upgrades are carefully phased with week-by-week scheduling and an open channel of communication with hotel management. Our collaborative approach means we can free up the highest revenue producing areas as quickly as possible, always keeping the number of unavailable rooms to an absolute minumum.
Physical barriers and clear signage segregates work areas to promote guest and staff safety and all exit routes are kept clear.
Extensive infrastructure works at the Hospital, with a particular focus on the Hospital’s mechanical, and electrical systems.
