Frequently Asked Questions About Healthcare Construction in Pennsylvania
What makes healthcare construction more complex than other commercial projects?
Healthcare construction involves stricter life-safety requirements, infection control planning, and coordination of specialized building systems such as medical gases, emergency power, and advanced HVAC. Projects often take place in active facilities, requiring phased construction and careful scheduling to avoid disrupting patient care.
How do you manage construction in active or occupied healthcare facilities?
We plan phased construction strategies that isolate work zones, maintain egress paths, and protect patients and staff. This includes implementing Infection Control Risk Assessments (ICRA), coordinating off-hours work when necessary, and maintaining constant communication with facility administrators.
What compliance standards apply to healthcare construction projects?
Healthcare facilities must comply with multiple layers of regulation, including:
FGI Guidelines for Design and Construction
NFPA Life Safety Code (NFPA 101)
Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) protocols
Interim Life Safety Measures (ILSM)
State and local building and health department requirements
Our team integrates these standards into the project from pre-construction through final inspection.
How long does a typical healthcare construction project take?
Timelines vary based on project type and complexity.
Medical office or clinic build-outs may range from several months
Imaging suites often require additional time for shielding, equipment coordination, and inspections
Phased renovations in active facilities typically extend schedules due to operational constraints
Early pre-construction planning helps establish realistic schedules and reduce delays.
When should a Construction Manager be brought into a healthcare project?
Ideally, a Construction Manager should be engaged during pre-construction. Early involvement allows for accurate budgeting, constructability reviews, regulatory planning, and coordination of long-lead medical equipment—reducing risk before construction begins.
Do you coordinate imaging equipment and specialty vendors?
Yes. We coordinate closely with imaging equipment vendors, medical gas suppliers, and specialty trades to align construction schedules, power and shielding requirements, and delivery timelines. This coordination is critical for MRI, CT, PET, and other diagnostic suites.
How do you control costs on healthcare construction projects?
Cost control begins in pre-construction through detailed budgeting, value analysis, and scope alignment. During construction, we track progress, manage change orders carefully, and provide transparent reporting so owners can make informed decisions throughout the project.
Can you work with our existing architect and engineering team?
Yes. We collaborate with your selected architects, engineers, and consultants while serving as your construction management representative—coordinating the full team and protecting your interests throughout the project lifecycle.
Are local permitting and inspections different by city or county?
Yes. Healthcare construction in Pennsylvania can vary significantly by jurisdiction. Local Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs), inspection processes, and permitting timelines differ by city and county. Our regional experience allows us to anticipate these differences and plan accordingly.
