Project Overview
PHP Projects was appointed to manage the delivery of a £250,000 window replacement scheme within a live Mental Health Unit. This project formed part of a wider infrastructure improvement programme designed to enhance safety, energy efficiency, and overall patient wellbeing in secure clinical environments.
Our Role
As project lead, PHP Projects was responsible for:
Construction Management: Coordinating all on-site activity to replace existing windows without disrupting clinical services or compromising patient safety.
Stakeholder Management: Engaging with facilities teams, clinical leads, and site operations to ensure works were planned around the needs of staff and service users.
Planning & Implementation: Developing and managing a phased programme of works tailored to the operational constraints of a live mental health setting.
Procurement: Managing the procurement of specialist contractors and materials in accordance with NHS Trust guidelines.

PHP Projects quickly engaged professional beekeepers to safely relocate the colony without delay to the construction programme. Our response demonstrated our agility in problem-solving and commitment to environmental responsibility.
