30 Second Briefing
Henry Brothers Construction has begun a £1.9m first-phase project at Lincoln County Hospital to expand the Stroke Unit by reconfiguring Navenby Ward into a single Hyper Acute Stroke Unit (HASU) from two existing five-bay wards. Works include full mechanical, electrical and plumbing modernisation plus new joinery, floors, doors, ceilings and lighting to refresh the existing ward environment. Procured via the Pagabo Refit and Refurbishment Framework, the scheme involves Day Architectural for architecture, project management and QS services, with DSSR delivering M&E engineering design.
Technical Brief
- Phase one is defined as a £1.9m package, with a second phase to follow.
- Navenby Ward reconfiguration focuses on merging two existing five‑bay layouts into one consolidated unit.
- Day Architectural is combining architectural design with in‑house project management and quantity surveying roles.
- Henry Brothers is running this alongside multiple East Midlands healthcare schemes, including a recently completed Endoscopy Unit in Leicester.
