Premises Development

Self Builds:

We have a successful track record of acting for GPs undertaking self build projects. Our services can take you from submission of the initial business case to handover of the keys to a new surgery. We have a pool of resources to call on to undertake the application to NHS England for funding, design (in which Practices are wholly involved), planning applications, assistance with bank funding, tendering construction contracts, selection of a main contractor, project management and final sign-off by NHS England.

Leased Premises:

We have acted for numerous GP Clients entering into leases with investor-developers of new premises. It is essential for GPs to take professional advice in these projects to avoid taking on onerous leases and accepting responsibility for expensive building defects. Our range of experience enables us to offer a wider expertise than many of our rivals who act as Monitoring Surveyor. We can advise on draft leases to ensure GPs are protected from, for example, shortfalls in rent reimbursement and service charge provisions which leave GPs with hefty costs which are not reimbursable. We are able to comment on design to help practices achieve a building that works for them. During the construction phase, our representation ensures that information flows to the contractor and developer from the Practice to help achieve completion on time. Where there are financial implications for Practices, we can assist with ensuring GPs receive value for money on any variations to the project and extras outside of the usual ABC List.

Improvement Grants:

Invicta prepares business cases for GP practices wishing to apply to NHSE for capital funding towards improvements to their premises. We are able to supply budget estimates for the works, commission the design through specialist architects in larger schemes to ensure that works meet NHS design standards, handle the tender process to contractors and project manage the works themselves.

Project Management and Monitoring Surveyor:

Paul Mayhew has more than 30 years’ experience in the construction industry and an established record as a project manager. For any size of premises development or improvement, please contact Paul to discuss your requirements on 01233 771946..

We are a four Doctor General Medical Practice in Guildford and have  just successfully concluded a sale-and-leaseback project on our premises.

Throughout it we have been admirably guided and supported by Rosemary Jones of Invicta Surveyors. From the beginning it was clear that she possesses a wealth of experience in this specific field. Her knowledge was always spot on and her responses to all our inexperienced questions were answered promptly, accurately and in a clear, understandable and non-patronising manner.

Furthermore Rosemary has a wide range of relevant contacts in this area and put us in contact with a similarly excellent lawyer in the field. From Surveyors to Lawyers to NHS representatives, it seems she knows, or has worked with in the past, practically everyone relevant.

From the start we were confident that we were in a safe pair of hands-and so it proved to be.

All of this was delivered in an optimistically unflappable and personable style. This gave us great confidence when progress waxed and waned and problems arose.

I have no hesitation in praising Rosemary Jones and commending her for similar projects.
