Supplying comms for care home construction companies

GHM Care works with care home construction companies across the UK, installing critical communication and energy solutions. Our experienced team ensure telecom, gas and electricity packages are coordinated smoothly and completed to schedule. The requirements for each project are tailored accordingly, to ensure key stages are fully managed by GHM Care, on behalf of the contractor.

Telephone Line Connections and Data Services

GHM Care can help advise when engaging with Openreach regarding connecting the building to the BT network. We oversee that ground ducts and cable infrastructure are installed at an appropriate time, enabling line orders to be ready for building occupation.
GHM Care will supply the voice lines, telephone numbers and data connections for the building. We can also split the installation fees from the ongoing rental charges between the constructor and care operator.
Telephone numbers can be selected and made “live” by GHM Care, even before the comms room is fully equipped. We enable sales staff to make and receive enquiry calls in the marketing suite or off-site.
