Work to prioritise
Fire engineering strategy, systems-design consultation and passive-fire surveys, with responsibilities and deliverables agreed alongside the architect, M&E designer and operator.
Start here · Construction
Wenham Holt / Liss care home
Barchester Healthcare · Liss, Hampshire
Programme: 2028 Source checked: 2026-09-28
Target scope
Qualify a bounded design or assurance appointment alongside the existing Liss project team.
Why it fits
Kori’s September announcement confirms work on Barchester’s 64-bedroom Liss home, with completion expected during 2028. AB Fire’s strategy and systems-design consultancy can target an identified coordination task rather than compete for an installation package.
Recommended first move
Use works@koriconstruction.com (Kori Construction) to request the person responsible for the proposed scope. This is a published business route, not proof that the inbox holder can award the work. Lead with: Who owns the fire strategy and systems-design coordination between Holden & Lee, TDC and the appointed M&E team?
Timing
The September construction announcement provides a named project route and a 2028 horizon. Package and consultancy appointments may already be committed; identify the exact buyer and next decision before estimating.
Qualification questions
Who owns the fire strategy and systems-design coordination between Holden & Lee, TDC and the appointed M&E team?
How are the strategy, alarm cause-and-effect and compartmentation information coordinated and approved?
Who can appoint this particular scope, what is already committed, and what is the next decision date?
Prepare before contact
Prepare a proposed appointment boundary showing what remains with the existing designers and what supplementary advice would cover.
Prepare a one-page design-responsibility matrix and example consultancy deliverables, separating strategy, systems advice and physical survey.
Check the linked project source and current public route before sending; the published starting point is works@koriconstruction.com (Kori Construction).
Reasons to stop
The project has no unresolved consultancy scope or requires AB Fire to assume another designer’s liabilities without an agreed appointment.
The buyer cannot identify an authorised appointment or provide enough information to define and price the requested scope.

Hello Kori Construction team,
Kori’s September announcement confirms work on Barchester’s 64-bedroom Liss home, with completion expected during 2028. We provide fire-engineering strategy, systems-design consultation and passive-fire survey services for care and other premises.
Who owns the fire strategy and systems-design coordination between Holden & Lee, TDC and the appointed M&E team?
Could you point us to the person who owns that decision and let us know whether this is a useful time for an introduction? If the scope is already covered, knowing the appropriate review point would help us avoid duplicating existing arrangements.

Hallmark Luxury Care Homes · Redbridge, Greater London
Programme: Late 2028 Source checked: 2026-09-28
Target scope
Identify whether the 110-bed Manor Road project has a defined fire-engineering or systems-coordination requirement.
Why it fits
Kori reports works started on Hallmark’s 110-bed Manor Road home in Redbridge, with late 2028 completion targeted. The offer can be relevant to a clearly commissioned review on a larger care scheme, without assuming the design needs correction.
Recommended first move
Use works@koriconstruction.com (Kori Construction) to request the person responsible for the proposed scope. This is a published business route, not proof that the inbox holder can award the work. Lead with: Does Hallmark or Kori hold the fire-engineering appointment, and are any client-side review decisions still open?
Timing
Late 2028 is a long delivery horizon. Use the current construction route to establish responsibilities; avoid treating it as an imminent operational service order.
Qualification questions
Does Hallmark or Kori hold the fire-engineering appointment, and are any client-side review decisions still open?
How are the strategy, alarm cause-and-effect and compartmentation information coordinated and approved?
Who can appoint this particular scope, what is already committed, and what is the next decision date?
Prepare before contact
Prepare a concise client-versus-contractor responsibility matrix and a list of required design information.
Prepare a one-page design-responsibility matrix and example consultancy deliverables, separating strategy, systems advice and physical survey.
Check the linked project source and current public route before sending; the published starting point is works@koriconstruction.com (Kori Construction).
Reasons to stop
The buyer is seeking only a priced installation package or an unsupported redesign of an approved scheme.
The buyer cannot identify an authorised appointment or provide enough information to define and price the requested scope.

Why it fits
Kori reports work underway on Care UK’s 64-bed Whitford Gardens home in Mitcham, with a spring 2028 target. The three connected consultancy disciplines support an interface discussion if the project identifies a genuine gap in responsibility.
Recommended first move
Use works@koriconstruction.com (Kori Construction) to request the person responsible for the proposed scope. This is a published business route, not proof that the inbox holder can award the work. Lead with: Who coordinates the fire strategy, alarm cause-and-effect and passive-fire evidence for Care UK’s operational handover?

Programme: Around 15 months after intended 2027 construction start Source checked: 2026-09-28
Target scope
Establish whether Pendine Park needs fire-engineering input to the developer brief before design responsibilities are fixed.
Why it fits
Pendine Park’s September announcement describes the planned 77-bed Pen-y-Don home, with a developer being sought and a 2027 start intended. The early stage is better suited to an appointment-definition discussion than later remedial work or equipment supply.
Recommended first move
Use admin@pendinepark.com (Pendine Park) to request the person responsible for the proposed scope. This is a published business route, not proof that the inbox holder can award the work. Lead with: Has the operator appointed the fire engineer who will inform the developer’s design brief and future system requirements?
Timing
The announcement says a developer is being sought and a 2027 start is intended. Planning status and trade timetable are not established; early buyer and design discovery is appropriate.
Qualification questions
Has the operator appointed the fire engineer who will inform the developer’s design brief and future system requirements?
How are the strategy, alarm cause-and-effect and compartmentation information coordinated and approved?

Undisclosed national care provider · Honiton, Devon
Programme: Confirm current timetable Source checked: 2026-09-28
Target scope
Seek introduction to the unnamed operator to clarify fire-strategy and systems-design appointments after consent.
Why it fits
The September announcement records the sale of the former Mill Water School site, with consent for a 70-bedroom care home; the buyer is unnamed. AB Fire’s national consultancy offer is geographically suitable, but commercial qualification depends on revealing the real design team.
Recommended first move
Email Sara Hartill at sara.hartill@christie.com to ask whether an introduction to the owner or project lead is possible. The adviser is not the procurement buyer. Lead with: Has the buyer selected the architect and fire-engineering adviser who will develop the consented 70-bedroom scheme?
Timing
Consent and sale are confirmed, but the operator, contractor and start date are not. This remains introduction and monitoring work; no quotation deadline or supplier appointment should be inferred.
Qualification questions
Has the buyer selected the architect and fire-engineering adviser who will develop the consented 70-bedroom scheme?
How are the strategy, alarm cause-and-effect and compartmentation information coordinated and approved?
Who is the authorised owner or project lead, and what programme or appointment has actually been confirmed?
Prepare before contact
Prepare a short consultant introduction and an appointment-status checklist for the transaction adviser to forward.

Subject: Former Mill Water School care-home development: introduction to the relevant owner or project lead
Hi Sara,
The September announcement records the sale of the former Mill Water School site, with consent for a 70-bedroom care home; the buyer is unnamed. We provide fire-engineering strategy, systems-design consultation and passive-fire survey services for care and other premises.
Would it be possible to forward a short introduction to the owner or relevant project lead? The initial question is: Has the buyer selected the architect and fire-engineering adviser who will develop the consented 70-bedroom scheme?
We would like to establish whether there is a defined requirement and the right time to speak. We appreciate that the sale announcement does not establish a current supplier review.
Kind regards,
