Through our existing MTC contract with Central Manchester University Hospital, Novus undertook a project whereby the existing boardroom at Trafford General Hospital had become an out of date meeting room and needed modernising to become the focal points of all meetings of board level members of the trust. There were a number of challenging things Novus had to overcome including the lead in period of the timber rafts which had to be procured to suit the clients programme. The initial scope of works changed throughout the project which meant the project team had to be aware of the project particulars and ensure that we recruited the correct workforce to meet demand.
Upon completion of the project we expressed our gratitude for the way Nevus managed the project and completed the works on time, within budget and with zero defects.
