McGoff Construction has been appointed as the principal contractor for a significant £21 million mixed-use development in Herne Bay, Kent. This project highlights McGoff’s role in enhancing local infrastructure with a new 67-bed nursing home and 49 bungalows. Both these facilities are integral to the community’s residential and care needs.
The site, known for its historical significance, will see partial demolition. However, elements of the original structure will be preserved, with plans to restore the façade, thereby maintaining a connection with Herne Bay’s rich heritage. The strategic retention and celebration of historical architecture underscore the development’s commitment to blending modern needs with historical preservation.
The ambitious schedule aligns with McGoff’s reputation for timely project delivery, with the nursing home slated for completion by August 2025 and the associated residential bungalows by September 2025. This timeline demonstrates McGoff’s efficient project management capabilities, ensuring that the development proceeds without unnecessary delays.
Integral to this project is the collaboration within the McGoff Group. Panacea Building Systems, part of the McGoff Group, will provide lightweight steel frames, integrated roofing, and custom drylining solutions, underpinning the development’s structural integrity. Meanwhile, McGoff Group Facilities Services will oversee the fitout and ensure compliance with passive fire protection standards, while EdenCroft Building Services will deliver comprehensive mechanical and electrical services.
Dean Johnston, group managing director of McGoff Construction Services, articulated the company’s dedication to enriching the Herne Bay landscape. In his words, “We are absolutely committed to delivering a stunning mixed-used development that locals will be proud of…” This statement reflects McGoff’s broader commitment to self-delivered projects, leveraging in-house expertise to minimise subcontracting and enhance construction quality.
This project marks a crucial step in McGoff Construction’s ongoing contribution to enriching community infrastructure in Herne Bay.
