BAM is currently building a retirement village in Witney, Oxfordshire for the specialist group.

The £40m development will create 48 village apartments for independent living, 46 suites for assisted living, and a 60-bed care home providing nursing and dementia care.

The project also includes a wellness spa, lounges, library, terrace café, restaurant and garden bar.

BAM Design is developing final designs for the scheme. Their expertise in 3D co-ordinated design working with the structural engineer and M&E subcontractor, has been fundamental to the integration of over 1,000 services holes through the steel frame.

Demolition work has included the team removing roof tiles to allow bats to escape and asbestos clearance to buildings in the former BBC Residential Training Centre.

The team is just starting groundworks to a 26,000 m3 cut excavation for the basement. Construction should be completed in September 2018.

Rod Stiles, the Regional Director for BAM Construction in the Midlands, said: ‘This is a significant high quality private development in a specialist sector. 

“Together with our major office scheme at Three Snowhill, and major education schemes for universities and the EFA in Birmingham, Coventry and Solihull, we have a diverse portfolio based on good partnerships, modern approaches, and high quality workmanship.’
