John Radcliffe Hospital, Level 5
Critical care capacity, during COVID-19
The ward next door stays open.
Much of our work is delivered alongside patients, staff, pupils and building users. That changes how a project must be planned and managed.
Infection control, dust and noise containment, out-of-hours phasing, isolated services, controlled access and daily stakeholder liaison — delivered to applicable HTM/HBN, Trust, statutory and project-specific requirements. We have been doing it for NHS trusts and their estates partners for over fifteen years, and it is the reason clients come back.
- Infection control
- Applicable HTM/HBN
- Out-of-hours phasing
- Stakeholder liaison
Environments where day-to-day routines cannot be interrupted.
Hospitals, schools and working commercial premises where closing the building is not an option. Phasing, containment and access are designed before anyone starts.
Healthcare
Diagnostic centres, wards, theatres, pharmacy and LINAC suites delivered in operating hospitals.
Education
Schools and colleges refurbished around term dates, with safeguarding and access control throughout.
Commercial & Mixed-Use
Fit-out and refurbishment for premises that stay open and trading.
Repeat work, in spaces that remain open throughout the works.
Selected projects for repeat clients across healthcare, education, central government and the wider public sector, and private-sector clients — delivered through public-sector frameworks as well as direct appointments, and most of them inside buildings that stayed open throughout.

Richard Dickson Project Director, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
Princess of Wales Hospital – Ely CDC“Marcon Construction approached the project with a high level of professionalism and adaptability.
Working directly below functioning day theatres was no small task, yet their team delivered the new CDC with minimal disruption and clear communication throughout. The facility is now a key diagnostic hub for the region, and the quality of the build has been excellent.”
-
Kathy Francis Ward Manager, Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
John Radcliffe – Level 5“We’re delighted with our new ward.
It is spacious, light, and open, and is not only a great environment for our patients to stay in, but also for our staff to work in.”

Andrew Taber Associate Director, Equans
Eastbury Community School – MUGA“Marcon delivered a first-class MUGA facility with minimal disruption to the school.

Sara Randall Chief Operating Officer, Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
John Radcliffe – Level 5“This is a fantastic new development for both patients and staff at our Trust.
Patients and staff are already seeing the benefits of their fresh, modern, customised new ward.”

Jayne Black Chief Executive, Medway NHS Foundation Trust
Medway Hospital – Ruby Ward“This is a really significant development for our hospital, which is set to benefit the community in Medway and Swale for years to come.
We hope the new ward will play a role in improving our services, with the availability of more beds helping to treat patients sooner. It will also stand us in a better position to deal with any further pandemic outbreaks. I want to give a special mention to our colleagues and contractors involved in this project – thanks to their hard work and dedication over the last four months, we have been able to open the ward in record time.”
