Overcoming challenges

The brief, and how we landed it

The challenge

The extension mixed dry clinical corridors needing Ei 60 on escape routes with wet treatment rooms where wooden leaves had swollen in the existing building within five years. Hygiene protocols required seamless, cleanable door faces and documentation for every position. Site access ran through the operating hospital, so deliveries came in zone-sized lots on two days' notice.

How we delivered

We split the programme into two door lines: Ei 60 wooden leaves with lacquered faces for escape routes and dry corridors, and WPC leaves for wet and hygiene areas — seamless faces that tolerate hospital cleaning chemicals and will not swell or rot. All doors ran one CE-marked hardware standard so the facilities team carries one spare-parts kit. Deliveries ship as zone-labelled sets on two days' notice against the clinical move plan.

Value engineering on this project

Moving wet-area doors from lacquered wooden leaves to WPC removed the repaint cycle the existing building carries every four years and cut the door package cost by roughly 9%. One hardware standard across 220 doors cut hardware cost 14% against the tendered mix. Zone-sized deliveries eliminated off-site storage, which the local quote had priced at a per-week rate.
