Medivet WatfordVeterinary Practice

Working in a Live Veterinary Practice

Veterinary healthcare facilities present a category of construction challenge that sits apart from standard commercial fit-outs. Sterile zones, sensitive imaging equipment, and the presence of animals in adjacent areas during later stages of fit-out all impose constraints on when, where, and how trades can work. Noisy or vibration-intensive activities — cutting containment, drilling, pulling cable through tight conduit runs — required careful scheduling to avoid clinical areas that were being handed over progressively to the Medivet team.

Nexgen's site supervisors worked in close coordination with Woodhouse's project manager to maintain a live access schedule, adjusting sequence as different areas became available and others became restricted. It required a level of situational awareness and flexibility that not every electrical contractor can sustain across a 16-week programme — but it is exactly the kind of environment in which Nexgen's site management approach performs at its best.
