Lead with compartmentation scope that has a defined survey, drawing or refurbishment decision behind it. Acorn’s published occupied-care-home testimonial makes The Grange a stronger relationship to qualify than a speculative new-build quotation. Construction entries focus on service penetrations and inspection access before those areas are concealed.

Work to prioritise
Compartmentation surveys, fire stopping, protective boarding and barriers, particularly phased work around occupied care accommodation and interfaces between an existing home and an extension.
Start here · Acquired
The Grange Nursing Home
Serincourt Limited trading as Numada Healthcare · Sherborne St John, Hampshire
Programme: Confirm current timetable Source checked: 2026-09-28
Target scope
Establish whether the consented extension will proceed and, separately, whether the existing occupied home has a defined compartmentation survey scope.
Why it fits
The Grange’s September sale announcement identifies an existing 26-bedroom home with consent for 14 additional bedrooms. Acorn’s published occupied-care-home experience supports a phased access discussion around an existing building and any future extension.
Recommended first move
Use admin@numadahealthcare.co.uk (Numada Healthcare) 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: If the 14-bedroom extension progresses, who will specify and manage the connection between new compartments and the existing home?
Timing
The September transaction is recent, but the 14-bedroom consent is not a construction programme. Separate existing-home support from any future extension and establish which, if either, the operator is considering.
Qualification questions
If the 14-bedroom extension progresses, who will specify and manage the connection between new compartments and the existing home?
What evidence and inspection hold points are required before the relevant walls, ceilings or risers are closed?
What is the next agreed review or renewal date, and is there a current need beyond the existing provider’s contract?
Prepare before contact
Prepare an occupied-home access plan and a list of drawing questions for the junction between existing and proposed accommodation.
Prepare a sample penetration register, product-evidence checklist and occupied-home method statement; tailor them to the requested scope.
Check the linked project source and current public route before sending; the published starting point is admin@numadahealthcare.co.uk (Numada Healthcare).
Reasons to stop
Serincourt is not proceeding with the extension and has no independently identified survey or passive-fire requirement.
No current review, renewal or defined change exists beyond the public opening or ownership announcement.

Subject: The Grange Nursing Home: compartmentation and fire-stopping scope
Hello Numada Healthcare team,
The Grange’s September sale announcement identifies an existing 26-bedroom home with consent for 14 additional bedrooms. We undertake compartmentation surveys and passive-fire work, including fire stopping, barriers and protective boarding in care settings.
If the 14-bedroom extension progresses, who will specify and manage the connection between new compartments and the existing home?
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.

Identify the fire-stopping and boarding package owner at the 64-bedroom Barchester build before concealment stages.
Why it fits
Kori’s September announcement confirms work on Barchester’s 64-bedroom Liss home, with completion expected during 2028. Acorn’s mix of fire stopping and protective boarding makes package boundaries important: a single enquiry should identify who owns each interface.
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: Will penetrations and protective boarding be bought as a dedicated package or included within the M&E and drylining appointments?
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
Will penetrations and protective boarding be bought as a dedicated package or included within the M&E and drylining appointments?
What evidence and inspection hold points are required before the relevant walls, ceilings or risers are closed?
Who can appoint this particular scope, what is already committed, and what is the next decision date?
Prepare before contact

Why it fits
Kori reports work underway on Care UK’s 64-bed Whitford Gardens home in Mitcham, with a spring 2028 target. A compartmentation-led enquiry fits the need to coordinate several trades before work is enclosed.
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 penetration register across the trades at Whitford Gardens, and when are inspection hold points scheduled?
Timing
The August work-start announcement and spring 2028 target justify a project-team introduction. Neither proves open packages; ask where the proposed scope sits in the existing appointment structure.
Qualification questions

Undisclosed national care provider · Honiton, Devon
Programme: Confirm current timetable Source checked: 2026-09-28
Target scope
Monitor the approved Honiton development for a named operator, builder and passive-fire procurement route.
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. South of England coverage keeps the site geographically credible, but the missing project team makes relationship discovery the only justified step now.
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 a contractor or design team been appointed to develop the 70-bedroom consent, and who will own passive-fire coordination?
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 a contractor or design team been appointed to develop the 70-bedroom consent, and who will own passive-fire coordination?
What evidence and inspection hold points are required before the relevant walls, ceilings or risers are closed?
Who is the authorised owner or project lead, and what programme or appointment has actually been confirmed?
Prepare before contact
Prepare a short passive-fire capability note suitable for an adviser to forward; avoid a bill of quantities before drawings exist.

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 undertake compartmentation surveys and passive-fire work, including fire stopping, barriers and protective boarding in care settings.
Would it be possible to forward a short introduction to the owner or relevant project lead? The initial question is: Has a contractor or design team been appointed to develop the 70-bedroom consent, and who will own passive-fire coordination?
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.

Qualify completion of compartmentation records and any explicitly identified follow-on work at Amica’s near-opening home.
Why it fits
Amica’s published Greenlands Meadow page targets autumn 2026 and says the marketing suite is open. Acorn’s survey and delivery capabilities can be relevant to an agreed close-out task, without assuming a new home needs remediation.
Recommended first move
Use greenlands@amicacare.co.uk (Amica Care Trust) 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: Are passive-fire completion records accepted, and has any separate inspection or documented close-out scope been commissioned?
Timing
The published autumn 2026 target makes status confirmation the immediate task. Establish whether the home is now occupied, who has accepted handover and what remains with the original suppliers before proposing support.
