New Facility Addresses Growing Need for High-Dependency Care
R Clouston Ltd is proud to be playing a key role in the construction of a state-of-the-art care home in Kirkwall, Orkney. This vital project by Orkney Islands Council is set to replace the aging St Rognvald House and provide much-needed high-dependency care for the elderly in the community.
Local Expertise Meets Modern Construction
As a leading building contractor in Orkney, R Clouston Ltd brings its extensive expertise and commitment to quality to this significant development. The new care home, designed with the needs of residents and staff in mind, will offer modern facilities and a comfortable environment for those who require specialized care.
Innovative Construction Methods Enhance Efficiency
The project has garnered attention for its innovative construction methods, including the use of SterlingOSB Zero sheathing, an off-site solution that enhances efficiency and sustainability. This approach is particularly valuable in Orkney’s remote location and challenging weather conditions.
R Clouston Ltd Committed to Serving the Community
“We are delighted to be involved in this project, which will make a real difference to the lives of older people in Orkney,” says Bob Clouston. “Our team is dedicated to delivering a high-quality building that meets the highest standards of care and sustainability.”
