BCQS recently had the honour of attending the ground breaking ceremony for the new Geriatric Hospital in Waterford, Barbados. As Quantity Surveyors for the project, BCQS is proud to be a part of this significant development in the healthcare infrastructure of Barbados. The project, valued at circa US$50m, is slated for completion in Q4 2024 and will provide 300 beds for geriatric patients.

As a quantity surveying services provider for the project, BCQS is proud to be a part of this significant development in the healthcare infrastructure of Barbados. The new Geriatric Hospital will be a three-story building with offices, dining areas, a chapel, laundry facilities, and a therapeutic pool. The development also includes external works and services. The total internal floor area of the project is approximately 140,000 square feet.
