Optimum Contracts South West successfully complete Care home
Optimum have recently completed its 1st project under our new Contracts Division banner. Optimum Contracts South Ltd was set up towards the end of 2010 to target small to medium size projects and is being headed up by a completely new team.
Sean Nash has bought an experienced fit out team along with many years experience working on projects anywhere from £10k to £250k. Optimum Contracts South Ltd are already on target of £1 million turnover in the first year and have a healthy order book going into 2012.
Englishcoombe House has recently been handed over to our client, Care Construction South West . This was a £240k part new and part refurbished care home consisting of 40 purpose built self contained bedrooms, Lounges , shared dining room, kitchen and meeting rooms.
Amongst other special features of this once local public house our client requested an Orangery in the original courtyard & this is now a beautiful feature & a place for the residents & staff alike to enjoy.
Optimum Contracts South Ltd were instrumental in designing the ceilings and bulkheads in The Orangery, all the externals were applied in Webber scraped render. The project was completed within programme durations and our client’s budget.

Our work is now in the Final Stages at the new South Bristol Hospital For Carillion. We are now installing the last remaining ceiling tiles following the completion of overhead Commissioning Works. The Client and Carillion are both very pleased with the standard of our workmanship and the main feautre Atrium has recieved much praise using Acoustic Panelling to create an echo free environment.
As a considerate contractor we are continually looking to improve our standards within the Construction Industry and are currently working towards gaining ISO14001 certification, which is the International Standard for the Environmental Management. We have just passed the 1st stage audit, which entails an external auditor from BM Trada spending a day at ourBristol office to review our Policy and Environmental Management System.
The next stage will take place in February 2012, where the auditor will spend 2 days on site, looking at what our operatives are doing in relation to our EMS.
Work in the main Atrium at Nantgarw for Main Contractor Laing O’Rourke has reached the critical halfway point. Skimming and final finishing works have been completed in the Atrium. This will now allow Laing O’Rourke to proceed with the completion of the first half of the Atrium leaving us to complete the following 50% in the next two weeks.
We have just completed our 16th week on site and the contract is going well. 2nd fix has been completed on the Ground Floor with Tapers lined up for next week. 1st fix has been completed on both the 1st & 2nd Floors and we have started 1st fix on the 3rd floor. The plant room has been completed to enable M&E to complete their works and the atrium area has been boarded.
We are in the process of installing the lead lined board to the x ray rooms and in discussions with Vinci on the SAS ceiling systems which are to be installed.
