Eldon Avenue, Borehamwood – New Build Project
Our project at Eldon Avenue was successfully completed and handed over to our client Hertsmere Developments early January 2025.
The project involved the demolition of two blocks of unused lock-up garages and the remediation of the site prior to commencement. Specialist foundations had to be constructed due to the trees and the general nature of the ground conditions.
The site is very restrictive and parking is at a premium, however, we still managed to find room to accommodate nine car parking spaces, cycle parking, car charging and an enclosed bin area!
All of the apartments are equipped with balconies and are complemented with top-quality finishes throughout the development. The external facades feature a combination of facing brickwork, render, cladding panels and tall modern windows, which flood the apartment with natural light.
This £2.6 million design and build project, which has produced 11 high-quality apartments, is a testament to the quality that Parrott Construction is renowned for.

Here’s to a prosperous year ahead! 🎄✨
Handover – Cranfield Medical Centre
Following an eleven-month build period, Parrott Construction has successfully completed a bespoke, purpose-built doctor surgery in Cranfield.
The Design and Build project was built for our valued client Bloor Homes Limited as part of their S106 obligation on the adjacent housing site.
The works comprised the detailed development of the design to exacting standards, and the traditional masonry construction of the single storey medical centre that will house the new medical practice.
The finish of the surgery is light and airy, with modern fixtures and fittings. Throughout the project the Parrott team were in constant contact with the various specialist subcontractors and suppliers, who are all absolutely necessary to complete such a service led building.
The surgery has an extensive car park, which will be a valuable addition to the facilities available at the new development.
Throughout the construction period Parrott maintained excellent relations, not only with Bloor Homes, but also the end user’s consultants. We maintained constant engagement to ensure all expectations were met.
The project met and surpassed all of its targets in terms of time, cost, quality and BREEAM rating.
Parrott Construction is keen to be involved in similar schemes, and we would welcome enquiries for medical, sporting, social or educational new build or refurbishment requirements.
Handover – Kitchener Day Centre
Another successful handover has been completed!
On Friday 7th June Parrott Construction was delighted to hand over the fully refurbished Kitchener Day Centre in Olney, to our client Milton Keynes City Council.
The works comprised refurbishment and remodelling, with modifications internally to the main building. These included demolitions and alterations, kitchen and laundry works, plumbing, mechanical, and electrical installations, plaster repairs, decoration, ceilings and floor finishes.
The refurbishment was carried out over an intensive five-week period. The work was carried out predominantly by our directly employed workforce, with specialist trades supplied by our expert subcontractors.
The project was handed over on programme and on budget, which was of great importance to our client.
