Our Strengths

LIFT  
Mansell is involved in several Local Improvement Finance Trust (LIFT) programmes and committed to delivering first class healthcare facilities.   

Our involvement in the Norfolk LIFT dates back to 2004.  As construction delivery partner to the Guildhouse Consortium, we’ve completed several projects including the Thetford Healthy Living Centre which was finished a healthy six weeks early thanks to close team collaboration.  Further projects worth some £10 million in total are in the pipeline.  

Building on this excellent relationship, in early 2007, the Guildhouse Consortium was also confirmed as Preferred Bidder for the South East Midlands LIFT with the potential to deliver projects worth up to £100 million in the first five years.   

Meanwhile, we’ve created three community health facilities for the Birmingham and Solihull LIFT.  

We are actively seeking to participate in future LIFT opportunities that will offer integrated and holistic frontline services to local communities.

INNOVATION
In primary care, we are committed to exploring innovative designs that are aesthetically pleasing, sustainable and economically efficient.   

We also seek to develop designs that promote collaboration between different services such as GPs, social workers and dental practitioners.  

Off site manufacture of the building’s component parts can make tangible improvements to cost and time – for example prefabricated lift shafts and audiology rooms, and in some cases complete buildings. 

Environmentally friendly features that also contribute to functionality and pleasant surroundings might include special glass panels for privacy and high levels of diffused natural daylight but with fewer shadows and reduced heat gain.  Our Thetford LIFT project incorporates atria with pressurised fabric roofs for a large uninterrupted span with a light and airy feel but with all the advantages of diffused light, thermal efficiency and greater fire safety.  

Our ideas create facilities that are durable and low maintenance yet with a wonderfully healing environment.
