Weston Hospital – SDEC Refurbishment

HBC successfully delivered the refurbishment of the Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) facility at Weston General Hospital, a key development designed to improve patient flow and enhance emergency care capacity. The £2.5m scheme involved the transformation of an existing clinical environment into a modern, compliant, and operationally efficient unit tailored to the demands of urgent care.

• Full strip-out and refurbishment of the existing hospital space.
• Installation of new MEP systems designed by QED Consulting and delivered by T Clarke.
• Structural modifications coordinated with Skeletal Consulting to enable reconfiguration of internal spaces.
• Implementation of fire safety strategy developed with OFR Consulting.
• Interior fit-out to clinical standards, including treatment bays, waiting areas, staff facilities, and support spaces.
• Upgrades to finishes, lighting, and building services to meet HTM/HBN requirements.

Added Value

• Proactive stakeholder engagement ensured minimal disruption to clinical services.
• HBC’s site team implemented robust health and safety controls, achieving excellent safety performance with zero reportable incidents.
• Strong working relationships with consultants and contractors contributed to efficient problem-solving and seamless delivery.

Outcome

The project was delivered on budget and in line with programme requirements, providing the hospital with a state-of-the-art Same Day Emergency Care facility. The refurbished unit supports improved patient experience, streamlined care pathways, and enhanced capacity for emergency cases.
