2 Care Experience Care Experience 3

Dear reader,

Thank you for taking the time to download this brochure – we hope you find it a useful guide to some of the care homes Stepnell has delivered in the last few years.

The provision of care home and retirement living across the UK varies in provision, service and quality. At Stepnell we have delivered a range of care home and retirement living developments across our operating region, working in partnership with clients within the public, private, and not-for-profit sectors.

However, a lower budget shouldn’t mean inferior quality development. Good design and thorough specification of products and systems will provide the client, end operators and importantly, end users, an environment to thrive within.

Most importantly, we are more than just a construction firm. We pride ourselves on being a complete construction partner, working with clients from the beginning to problem solve, introduce efficient solutions and project management options for challenging construction sites.

If you’d like to know more about what we do and how we can help you, please don’t hesitate to contact me and the team on the details at the end of this brochure.
