Nevada Construction were appointed by Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, via the Pagabo Framework, to deliver the design and construction of a JAG-accredited Endoscopy Unit at Tiverton and District Hospital. This purpose-built facility houses three endoscopy suites, along with dedicated spaces for patient preparation, recovery, colleague facilities, and training areas. The unit began welcoming patients in May 2025. Designed to address growing demand for endoscopies, it provides additional diagnostic capacity for communities across the region.

Engaged from RIBA Stage 3, Nevada Construction led the design process through Stage 4 and into construction, ensuring the project aligns with the hospital’s requirements and accreditation standards. In keeping with the architectural style of the surrounding hospital buildings, the unit features a single-storey traditional brick and block construction, with a dedicated first-floor plant room to accommodate essential mechanical and electrical systems.

A key aspect of the project involved extensive external works, including the construction of a separate generator compound, external storage, parking facilities, and associated landscaping. Nevada Construction also worked in collaboration with National Grid to deliver a dedicated new power supply, ensuring the unit’s operational resilience.

The completed Tiverton Endoscopy Diagnostic Unit increases local diagnostic capacity. Its self-contained layout supports the patient journey from arrival to recovery, with modern infrastructure and dedicated staff areas for clinical care and training.

With sustainability at the forefront, the scheme was designed to achieve a BREEAM Very Good rating, aligning with Royal Devon’s commitment to environmentally responsible construction. By combining thoughtful design, careful planning, and a focus on long-term sustainability, Nevada Construction delivered a purpose-built facility to support the healthcare needs of the community
