Our initial contract for the university was the upgrading of the DR room and surrounding offices and labs. The works comprised a complete refit of the surgical training dissecting room and the installation of a chilled 36 bay, body storage unit. Cost circa £300,000
Following on from the successfull completion of the DR rooms we were awarded various contracts, with the latest one being the refurbishment of student accomodation. This project involved a complete "make over" of 3 adjacent substantial properties during the summer recess. With the help of several local mechanical, electrical, flooring and decorating companies we completed the refurbishment within the 10 week contract period. Cost circa £750,000

Project Outline
J W Turner Ltd was invited to tender for the construction of an extension to the cardio vascular clinic which is in the middle of the hospital. The extension was built within a fully enclosed courtyard with access only through the hospitals public corridors.
The foundations were installed using a screw in style of pile with a timber framed extension built above. A very interesting and challenging project as not only was it awkward to carry out but directly above was the recovery rooms for the operating theatres, so noise had to be kept to a minimum. Cost circa £250,000
Following on from the successful completion of this project we were again invited to build an extension in the central part of the hospital, to the linen store. Again this was in a most inaccessible area of the hospital with the only access again through the public corridors.
Due to the volume of spoil to be excavated we had to dismantle an excavator and pull it through the corridors (to avoid diesel fumes) and reassemble the machine on site. With the amount of spoil to be removed the groundworks, along with material deliveries had to be completed at night.
This project was completed on both time and budget. It rates as one of the most carefully planned projects we have completed. Cost circa £280,000

In July 2009 J W Turner Ltd began work on the Bereavement Suite at Northampton General Hospital.
Unlike normal Hospital projects, the Bereavement Suite was somewhat of a 'bespoke project'. Various designs and artworks were commisioned especially for the project, including that of a spectacluar stained glass window, captivating the beholder as they enter the suite.
The Bereavement Centre was finished on schedule in time for the Duchess of Gloucester to officially open the suite on the 29th September 2009.
cost circa £140,000
