Healthcare Project
Arbour Court – Barchester
Fast-Track Refurbishment with Care at its Core
The refurbishment of Barchester’s Arbour Court care home was a fast-paced and highly sensitive project, delivered by Short Construction in just 12 weeks. Carried out in three carefully planned phases, the works involved extensive structural upgrades, all while the home remained fully operational and residents continued to live on-site.
Working in a live environment required exceptional coordination, empathy, and attention to detail. The project team implemented rigorous health and safety protocols to minimise disruption, including noise and dust control, ensuring the comfort and well-being of residents throughout the process.
The success of the project was a result of seamless collaboration between multiple contractors and a shared commitment to delivering quality under pressure.

Working in a live care home demanded not just technical skill, but compassion and precision. I’m proud of how our team rose to the challenge and made a real difference to the residents’ daily lives.
