STACEY CONSTRUCTION

PRESS RELEASE – AUGUST 2006

SUCCESSFUL SUMMER FOR STACEY CONSTRUCTION

From commerce to convalescence, two of Stacey Construction’s most recent projects could not be more different yet they both provide keenly awaited accommodation for their new occupants.

The company’s Main Contracting team has been working with the Fire Services Benevolent Fund (FSNBF) on a brand new £2 million therapy unit at Harcombe House, a Grade II listed manor situated in a beautiful location at Chudleigh in Devon, where Fire Service personnel who are sick or injured can recuperate in a relaxing and peaceful environment. The Charity’s new facility, which opened on the 13th June, now provides specialist rehabilitation and therapy care, as well as a range of other treatments including exercise therapy, physiotherapy and reflexology. Run by a dedicated team, this tranquil retreat is already providing valuable therapy care to clients.

The completion of new £750,000 offices at Exton Road for Exeter City Council has also provided bright and modern accommodation for staff from the Building and Electrical, Fleet Management, and Cleansing departments who, for a number of years, have been working in dilapidated offices and port-a-cabins. The striking building is of sustainable construction and incorporates many energy saving features, including special windows and insulation made of recycled paper. Opened by Ben Bradshaw MP at an official ceremony on 21 June, the building was named Oakwood House—chosen in a competition as the most ‘sustainable’ name for the new offices.
The company has also just handed over the £2.25 million first phase of a prestigious development at Dartmouth Pottery to transform the old industrial building into nine luxury apartments, completed on time and to budget. The team is now gearing up for the second phase of the project to build 8 mews-style three-storey townhouses within the grounds and this should be commencing shortly.

With all the other work that is currently underway and more opportunities in the pipeline, Stacey Construction looks poised for a very good year.
