Housing 21 chooses Willmott Dixon for care project

Oct. 5, 2011 - PRLog -- Warwickshire is set to see five new elderly care facilities constructed after a contract for the work was awarded to Willmott Dixon by Housing 21.

The deal is worth around £38 million and will see the developer carry out construction works on the new homes over a two year period, starting in 2012.

Meanwhile, Housing 21 has a five-year contract with Warwickshire County Council for the building, maintenance and management of the facilities.

In total, the scheme will deliver 355 new care units in addition to 21 self-contained bungalows, providing elderly people with somewhere secure to live, with support on hand if needed.

The first of the builds will get underway in July next year in Bedworth, with facilities also due to be located in Rugby, Atherstone, Stratford-upon-Avon and Alcester.

Housing 21 currently manages more than 18,000 apartments and bungalows in sheltered housing developments around the country.

It intends to add a further 1,000 properties to buy or rent to its portfolio by the end of 2012.

Firms working in the construction sector may find Sage Estimating, cost planning and post contract software is of use when managing multiple sites and builds.
