Parrott Working for the Community | Specialist Refurbishment Projects Handed Over to Hertfordshire County Council

Parrott Construction is pleased to announce the successful handover of two fully refurbished residential properties to our valued client, Adult Care Services at Hertfordshire County Council.

These projects demonstrate our continued commitment to delivering high-quality, community-focused construction solutions — especially for those with specialist care requirements. Both refurbishments were carried out under the Pretium framework, with project oversight by Aedifice Partnership, and delivered primarily by our own directly employed tradespeople.

Tailored for 24-Hour Live-In Care

Each project involved comprehensive repairs, modifications, and specialist adaptations to existing domestic properties, transforming them into modern homes designed to accommodate individual service users with 24-hour live-in care needs.

The scope of works included:
• Soundproofing for privacy and comfort
• Structural reinforcement to meet compliance and functional needs
• Sanitaryware upgrades and essential M&E installations
• Full kitchen and bathroom replacements
• General redecoration and internal finishes
• External improvements, including new access routes
• Installation of bespoke specialist fencing

These upgrades ensure that each property is both fit for purpose and welcoming, providing a safe and functional environment for vulnerable residents to receive consistent, high-quality care.

Project BBQ | Celebrating Progress at Dunton

On Friday 19th September, Parrott Construction hosted an onsite BBQ at our Dunton development, where 16 new build homes are currently under construction on behalf of our valued client Amplius.

The event was a fantastic opportunity to take a brief pause, reflect on the excellent progress made so far, and come together with project partners and subcontractors in a relaxed setting. With construction moving steadily forward — including the recent completion of floor joists and superstructure brickwork — the team took the chance to celebrate key milestones achieved on site.

Our site team, subcontractors, and visitors enjoyed great food courtesy of Spitting Pig, and the informal setting offered a welcome moment to build morale, strengthen working relationships, and thank everyone involved for their continued effort and commitment to the project.

We would like to extend a special thank you to:

– Amplius, our client, for their ongoing support and collaboration

– BHD Architects, for their continued design input and project partnership

– All our hardworking subcontractors, who are helping bring this scheme to life

We’re proud to be delivering much-needed new homes in Dunton and look forward to seeing the next stages of the development take shape in the coming months.
