Hertfordshire County Council - Broxbourne Nursing Home

Site Challenges

This new purpose-built home is located within the former Wormley Primary School site.

The home does not occupy the whole of the site and is shared with a new residential development (13 dwellings) occupying the eastern section of the site.

Delivered to BIM level 2, Hertfordshire County Council's objective was the provision of a comprehensive “as-built” model. During the design and build programme the BIM model was used for clash detection and general design development across multiple disciplines.
