Healthcare
Main contracting, construction management, quantity surveying and project management for NHS trusts and private healthcare providers. Based in Market Harborough, working across the UK.
Who we help
Roundtable Projects is a construction company based in Market Harborough, Leicestershire, working across the UK. Healthcare is our lead sector. We work with NHS trusts and private healthcare providers on diagnostic centres, imaging suites and clinical spaces, where specialist services, infection control and live-site working all have to be planned together.
Our published healthcare case studies are commercial roles. On three imaging schemes, West One in Manchester, the Mireille Gillings Neuroimaging Centre in Exeter and the Kingston Hospital MRI Building, we provided project quantity surveying and commercial management in association with M&O Building Contractors, who delivered the works. We say that plainly because being clear about who did what is where trust starts. We build trust first, projects second.
What we do
Take one role from us on your healthcare project, or combine them.
We take responsibility for the build itself: planning and programme, supply chain procurement, site management, health, safety and quality, then testing, commissioning and handover. Our main contracting case study is the Flying Spares industrial fit-out at Merrylees.
You contract each trade package directly, and we manage and coordinate those packages for a fee, controlling cost and programme on your behalf. It suits experienced clients who want to see every package price and are happy to carry the package risk.
Cost planning from the first sketch, value engineering and option appraisal, procurement and tendering, valuations, change control and final accounts. This is the role we held on all three of our healthcare case studies.
One clear direction for brief, design, programme and budget. We lead the conversation between you, your designers, consultants and contractors, and can oversee contractors you appoint directly.
Live clinical settings
At Kingston Hospital, the new four-storey MRI building went into a tight courtyard on an operating campus. Alongside it came an outpatient refurbishment, a new sub-station and infrastructure, and enabling works so staff could relocate temporarily while the hospital carried on. As project quantity surveyor, we kept procurement, valuations, change and extensions of time in step with that sequence.
The same discipline applies in converted buildings. At West One, floor loadings, plant rooms, clinical zoning, patient routes and waiting areas all had to work inside a retail unit that was never designed for scanners or shielding.
Healthcare projects
On each of these schemes, Roundtable Projects provided project quantity surveying and commercial management in association with M&O Building Contractors, who delivered the works. We were not the main contractor.

Questions healthcare clients ask
Yes. Healthcare is our lead sector. We work with NHS trusts and private providers across the UK from our base in Market Harborough, Leicestershire. Our healthcare case studies cover a community diagnostic centre in Manchester, a standalone neuroimaging centre in Exeter and a new MRI building on a live hospital campus in Kingston upon Thames.
No. On West One, the Mireille Gillings Neuroimaging Centre and the Kingston Hospital MRI Building, we provided project quantity surveying and commercial management in association with M&O Building Contractors, who delivered the works. Our main contracting case study is the £2.4m Flying Spares fit-out at Merrylees, completed within a 26-week programme. On a healthcare project, we can act as main contractor, construction manager, quantity surveyor or project manager.
We start from the fact that hospitals don't stop for construction. At Kingston Hospital, enabling works let staff relocate temporarily, and as project quantity surveyor we kept procurement, valuations, change and extensions of time in step with that sequence. In clinical spaces, infection control and specialist services need planning from the very start, not fixing later.
A quantity surveyor manages cost from the first sketch to the final account. On our healthcare schemes, that meant full supply chain procurement, subcontractor and client valuations, change management and extensions of time, monthly cost reporting and regular time on site.
Our Royal Devon and Kingston case studies were let on JCT Design and Build 2016 with amendments. Under design and build, the design and the reality on site move together. The quantity surveyor's job is to keep both in front of the people making decisions, so changes can be priced and agreed before they're built.
