SEAMLESS OCCUPANCY
We provide our clients with occupancy
planning. By incorporating this into the
construction processes, we are able to
manage the installations, training and code
agency approvals with long-term operations
in mind.This allows the facility to be patient
ready at the completion of the project.
By advising our clients or acting on behalf
of our clients as an Owner’s Representative
from the beginning of a project, we
help mitigate the risk of a facility not
functioning as initially programmed. Once
construction is complete, we help our
clients with the efficiency and effectiveness
of staffing and operational functionality.
REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
We understand that the regulatory constraints
of healthcare projects are greater than other
types of construction projects and we diligently
apply our knowledge and experience so
that projects move smoothly through
regulatory hurdles as scheduled.
PROCUREMENTTO MEET
YOUR STANDARDS

department to develop a project-specific
and needs-based procurement strategy.

optimize function and maximize outcomes.
THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT
TO MEETYOUR NEEDS

approach are paramount for providers, clinicians
and staff to provide the best patient care and
support evidence-based designs.We manage

selection so that the construction schedule

INTEGRATION OFTHE NEEDS OF
THE CLINICAL ENVIRONMENT
We work with clinical providers and facility
operations to coordinate construction of
operational environments, implement infection
control measures and maximize the efficiency,
effectiveness and flexibility of the new facility.
FIRM PROJECT CONTROLS
By referencing proven project control methods
and systems, our cost and project managers
assist healthcare clients in developing a
customized cost and schedule management
strategy that will guide the project successfully
from concept through to completion.
MASTER SCHEDULE INTEGRATING
ALL PROJECT ACTIVITIES
Our knowledge of construction, building
load, activation, transition planning and
occupancy and its impact to clinical and
facility operations is incorporated in the
development and implementation of a master
project schedule.This results in a more
successful integration of project and post-
construction occupancy activities and the
contractor’s pre-substantial completion work.
UNINTERRUPTED PATIENT CARE
We have successfully delivered millions of
square feet of healthcare construction and
managed patient readiness for hundreds
of thousands more.We have done so by
becoming an extension of our clients’ staff
to seamlessly expedite the tasks needed for
occupancy so staff can continue to focus
on their primary occupations, be it facilities,
fiscal, administration or patient care.
STRATEGIC ADVICE BEYOND
CONSTRUCTION
Our understanding of the healthcare industry
beyond the construction phase assists
Healthcare providers in identifying economic,
technical and provider strategies, resulting in a
cutting-edge facility which serves institutional
and patients needs for years to come.
COLLABORATION
We work with all project stakeholders to
maintain a focused, cost-effective approach
to development. Clearer focus on a set
