Elveden Forest, Suffolk - Project Horizon
After the main holiday village was destroyed by fire, we rose to the challenge to re-build the facility within a 44 week programme, managing up to 400 workers on site with a £1million spend per week.
This ambitious project saw us work to achieve Center Parcs’ target to re-open before their busy summer holiday period. Works included the rebuilding of a subtropical swimming paradise, aerobics and fitness areas, changing room facilities, bowling alley, racquet sports facilities, restaurants and pubs, kitchen facilities, retail outlets, daytime and evening entertainment facilities, conference facilities as well as public realm works including stream bridges, seating across the park, large decorative stones and landscapes, paving and works to the internal tropical pool area.
On completion of the works, Don Camilleri, Director at Center Parcs commented: “I am pleased to confirm that the performance of Clegg Construction Limited on the project they have carried out for Centre Parcs at Elveden has been very good in terms of programme, budget, quality and safety. They have integrated well with the design team and have been very helpful in problem solving by lateral thinking and by having a willingness to deal with matters on an open book basis.”
