Kier was selected to deliver the project under a p21+ framework and has used the latest digital technology and building information modelling (BIM) capabilities during construction.

The hospital project is intended to support Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust in its efforts to provide planned care services to local residents across Berkshire, Hampshire and Surrey.

Once the new building becomes operational, the existing Heatherwood Hospital buildings will be demolished.

Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust chief executive Neil Dardis said: “The handover is an exciting milestone for us as a Trust – the day that we officially takeover the building and get it ready to welcome our first patients next spring.

“The new Heatherwood is a key part of how we are transforming care for our patients, alongside the launch of the forthcoming electronic patient record system.”
