We’re excited to share a construction update from West Malling, where excellent progress is being made on a brand-new 70-bed care home, due to open in Summer 2026.

Recent drone footage has captured the scale and momentum of the works on site, with the first-floor plank installation now well underway. This marks a key phase in the build as the project continues to move steadily toward structural completion.

The new care home is being developed to provide high-quality, purpose-built accommodation for older people, with a strong focus on resident wellbeing, comfort, and community. Designed and delivered by a skilled and collaborative team, the scheme reflects a shared commitment to raising standards in care environments.

Project Overview:
• Client: Barcroft Estates
• Operator: Avante Care & Support
• Project and Cost Manager: Fed3 Projects Limited
• Main Contractor: Lawrence Baker Ltd
• Architect: Harris Irwin Architects
• M&E Engineer: Harniss Building Services Solutions

This project is being expertly managed by Jack Scrimshaw of Fed3 Projects, who is ensuring that key milestones are met on time and that quality remains at the forefront throughout delivery.

As the build progresses, we look forward to sharing further updates — including internal fit-out milestones and landscaping — as we help bring this important care facility to life.
