We are just going through the design phase of a complete rebuild. Our
estates manager is good and has appointed an external team of
architects and a project manager. Especially important as our whole
department is being rebuilt while we deliver a service. You also need
keen people from nursing reception on board. We also went throught
about 15 revisions on plans. We have nearly concluded the final one.
Room data sheets are a pain. We are relatively small and have 70 rooms
to go through!
