P1 Contractors and Johnsons Nurseries played a pivotal role in the successful landscaping and planting of the new Parkhead Health and Social Care Hub in Glasgow. This £72 million state-of-the-art facility, developed by hub West Scotland for NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and constructed by BAM Construction, is Scotland’s first net-zero carbon in-operation health hub, setting a new standard for sustainable healthcare infrastructure.
