Client testimonials
"Working with Kier has been phenomenal, bringing their expertise to the fore to help resolve all the supply chain challenges and still deliver on time. I have to say full credit to the team... The quality of the build in terms of Kier building this out is also very good in terms of the standard of finish and I think that is a real testament to Kier and that will stand the test of time."
Akin Durowoju, St Pancras Development Project Director, Lowther Road Integrated Community Mental Health Care
"This is the project that transforms and puts clinicians into the facility that they deserve, for the service that they provide. We have experienced a fantastic site-based team. The work that the team have done to deliver on a very constrained site immediately next to live and operational clinical facilities has been incredible. we have delivered this project to date with no interruptions to the clinical estate and the clinical estate causing no disruptions to project delivery."

Frequently asked questions
We design and construct a wide range of healthcare facilities, including hospitals, clinics, specialised treatment centres, and care homes. Our projects are designed to meet the specific needs of healthcare providers and their patients whilst benefiting from our standardised sector approach – harnessing the lessons learned from over 30 years and over 200 projects.
As well as designing and constructing, we can care for your buildings and estates. Through our Kier Places business, we are experts at operating in occupied environments - with end users at the heart of our delivery model. We offer a range of estate and facilities management solutions tailored to meet your needs, safely and at excellent value. We have the capability to maintain, operate, repair, and retrofit buildings and infrastructure, helping to look after your healthcare facilities and ensuring they are operating efficiently - whilst not impacting on the day-to-day needs of patients and healthcare staff.
We have extensive experience working in live healthcare environments. Our teams integrate with the NHS in partnership – to implement rigorous planning and coordination that minimises disruption, ensuring that healthcare services continue smoothly during construction. Continuous operation of the existing health services is always paramount.
We use modern methods of construction, we are Digital by Default and deliver sustainably (guided by the NHS Net Zero Carbon Standard). We also have expertise in practices such as Passivhaus. These methods enhance efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and improve the quality of healthcare facilities. Our goal is to create healthcare facilities that are environmentally responsible and economically viable.
We have a long-standing partnership with the NHS and work closely with healthcare providers to understand their needs and goals. Our collaborative approach ensures that we deliver solutions that enhance healthcare environments and improve patient care.
Safety and quality are paramount in our projects. We adhere to strict safety standards and quality control processes throughout the construction phase. Our commitment to excellence ensures that healthcare facilities are safe, functional, and built to last.
Our support doesn't end with the completion of a project; our focus remains right up until the first patient enters the hospital and beyond. We also offer ongoing aftercare and, if required, maintenance and facilities management services designed to ensure that your buildings and assets continue to operate smoothly and efficiently. Through our Kier Places business, we provide facilities management to more than 5,500 assets across the UK, including 10 NHS sites across England and Wales and 70 PFI sites nationwide.
We are based where we build as we have roots in all regions of the UK some going back over 80 years.
