Building contractor Farrans Construction has commenced work on Clore Manor Care Home in London for Care Concern Group.
Farrans is designing and constructing the 108-bed home – which will have underground parking facilities – on a site in Barnet which was previously the location of a three-storey care home. Construction is expected to last until late 2027.
The Care Concern Group is an independent care company which operates in England, Scotland, and Wales. Employing over 7,000 people, the Group operates a diverse portfolio of care homes with a range of care needs, including residential, nursing, dementia, and respite.
Clare Taylor, contracts manager for Farrans Construction, said: “We are delighted to be on site with this exciting project for our new client Care Concern Group. We have already erected new hoarding and installed our site welfare before constructing a new entrance road and undertaking ground excavation works in preparation for the piling activity which will run until November 2025. This is going to be a challenging project on a tight site footprint, beside a busy road and involving a lot of ground preparation to facilitate new basement levels, but we are well prepared with an excellent team on site.
“Farrans has an extensive portfolio of delivering for the care sector across England. In fact, we previously delivered neighbouring property Signature at Hendon Hall for Signature Care Homes so it is nice to be back in an area we have worked in before.”
