Complex M&E work to be carried out by contractor鈥檚 building services arm
Bam has said it will use its own in-house M&E arm on a scheme at Guy鈥檚 Hospital in London so it can cut out risk on the job.
The firm has been lined up for a 拢10m deal to build four new cancer wards at the Southwark site for Guy鈥檚 and St Thomas鈥� NHS Foundation Trust.
Bam is already on site carrying out initial works on the third and fourth floors of the Bermondsey Wing under a pre-construction services agreement.
The firm鈥檚 London director, Rod Stiles, said it would be carrying out the M&E work itself and added: 鈥淯pgrading ventilation, heating and lighting services in a hospital is complex and we have our own in-house specialists to deliver this 鈥� which represents a big reduction in risk because we don鈥檛 have to rely on others.鈥�
Bam will also be stripping back part of the wing to its shell before fitting out the wards, designed by AHR Architects, alongside nursing areas, offices and a gym.
It expects to ink the deal later this year for completion in 2021.
