RMG was engaged to oversee the Rochester Hospital rebuild as part of the flood recovery works after significant damage during the flooding in October 2022.

As the local hospital and nursing home for the Rochester-Elmore area (Rochester Elmore District Health Services), REDHS is a vital community asset, and the recovery project required both precision and efficiency.

Key rectification works included:

• Flood recovery and mitigation efforts throughout the Administration, Nursing, Acute Care, Kitchen, Theatre and Radiology areas
• Extension of the staff dining area
• Cladding and structural repairs
• Mechanical system upgrades.

Throughout the project RMG worked hard to address community expectations for their important health asset, while facing challenges, including addressing non-compliant cladding and electrical systems and resolving various structural defects.

Despite these complexities, we maintained a weekly program update system, ensuring accountability across all stakeholders. This approach enabled us to progress through each stage and exceed key project milestones, delivering results that went beyond expectations.

The facility was successfully re-opened in January 2025.
