Hamberley Development - Chawley Grove Care Home

Hamberley is a leading developer of luxury care homes and retirement living projects in the UK.

Following successful delivery of their Sutton Coldfield care home, J Tomlinson was appointed by Hamberley Development to manage and deliver another specialist care scheme in Cumnor, Oxfordshire.

The project comprised the design and build of a 3-storey, 70-bedroom luxury care home, as well as associated external works including landscaping and the creation of a car park.
Now open to the public, Chawley Grove Care Home provides residential, nursing and dementia care, with luxury facilities including a deluxe cinema, a health and beauty salon, a private dining suite, as well as en-suite bedrooms throughout.

Smooth, considerate project mobilisation

Prior to commencement of construction works, existing buildings on site were demolished, including the grubbing up of foundations and well as the removal of all trees and vegetation. Neighbouring residents and businesses were kept informed on the progress of works through letter drops and face-to- face visits. J Tomlinson rented the car parking spaces from a nearby office, consulting with immediate neighbours to ensure the positioning of welfare cabins would not cause any disruption or inconvenience. Throughout the project, we enjoyed a positive relationship with neighbours and the local community, assisting at a local school fair and undertaking a range of fundraising activities.

Creation of marketing suite

In line with Hamberley Care’s requirements, we also completed and handed over a Marketing Suite 12 weeks prior to Practical Completion. This area was completed to Hamberley’s specification and representatives were invited to review quality standards and provide feedback. All areas were benchmarked against this standard to establish the desired quality criteria, with the suite officially opened by Councillor Monica Lovatt, chairman of the Vale of White Horse District Council.

On time and budget delivery

The 16-month design and build project, which marks the second new-build care home J Tomlinson has successfully delivered on behalf of Hamberley, was completed on time and budget and opened to residents in early May.
