Off-site construction wins Health Secretary’s approval
December 2017

BENNETT ARCHITECTURAL teamed up once again with Laing O’Rourke on the construction of the new £212m Dumfries and Galloway Hospital.

Off-site construction method DfMA (Design for Manufacture and Assembly) was used to pre-install windows into concrete panels at Laing O’Rourke’s Explore Industrial Park in Worksop.

Bennett Architectural Managing Director Lionel Grant said: “We used DfMA, which we have previously used on two hospital projects, in Cumbria and North Staffordshire. With less on-site installation work this also lowers the carbon emissions for the project as a whole; which is vitally important.”

Health Secretary Shona Robison added: “The new hospital will transform the way services are provided to local patients in Dumfries and Galloway and I am very much looking forward to seeing the new facility.”
