Healthcare construction

Healthcare construction for hospital systems, physician groups and developers: new medical office buildings, ambulatory surgery centers, hospital renovations in occupied facilities and clinics, delivered by a dedicated healthcare group that knows ADHS review, infection control and the pace a hospital can tolerate.

01 — How we do it

Healthcare construction, the way we actually do it.

Healthcare construction has its own rules and its own rhythm. State review of the drawings, infection control risk assessments for every phase, interim life-safety measures, negative-pressure containment, and work windows that start when the clinic closes. Our healthcare group has done nothing else for fifteen years.

In an occupied hospital, the schedule is written around the facility, not around us. Shutdowns are planned with facilities and nursing weeks ahead; the ICRA is a document everyone on site has read; and the superintendent knows which hallway cannot have dust in it on Tuesday because that is when the surgeons walk through.

Surgery centers and medical office

Ambulatory surgery centers from the ground up or in a shell, with the medical gas, HVAC pressure relationships and finishes the state will inspect. Medical office buildings for developers who need a building physician groups will lease.

Preconstruction for healthcare

Healthcare budgets fail when the medical equipment, the IT and the owner-furnished items are not in the estimate. Ours includes them, coordinated with the equipment planner, so the number the board approves is the number the building costs.

02 — The process

What happens, in order.

So you know what to expect from the first call to the last walk.

Precon with the equipment planner

Estimate includes equipment, IT, OFCI; ADHS submittal planned; phasing designed around the facility.

ICRA and ILSM

Infection control and life-safety plans for every phase, reviewed with the facility before mobilization.

Phased construction

Containment, negative air, after-hours work, shutdowns scheduled with nursing; weekly facility meetings.

Inspection and licensing

ADHS inspection support, medical gas verification, commissioning, and the closeout the licensing survey needs.

05 — Questions

Questions about healthcare construction.

Have you worked in an occupied hospital?

Most of our healthcare work is in occupied facilities. Our group has completed 60+ phased renovations under ICRA and ILSM.

Do you manage the ADHS review?

We plan the submittal with the architect, track the review, and support the inspection. The licensing survey needs a complete closeout and we deliver it.

Can you build a surgery center in a shell?

Yes. Twelve to date. Medical gas, pressure relationships and finishes to the state standard, with the verification scheduled from day one.
