Construction documents and technical coordination for healthcare projects

Hospitals, clinics and healthcare centers bring together clinical requirements, architecture, structure, MEP, equipment and performance targets. That information must stay coordinated throughout construction document development, all the way to the site.

The challenge

Flows, systems and equipment within the same infrastructure

The complexity lies in the interfaces between clinical spaces, operations, MEP, structure and equipment.

Flows and operations

Patients, staff, supplies, waste and services follow different routes and conditions. Those criteria must stay coordinated with architecture and MEP throughout construction document development.

Concentration of systems

Operating rooms, diagnostic areas, laboratories and technical rooms bring together structure, MEP, medical gases and special systems in spaces with tight tolerances. A late change affects several disciplines at once.

Equipment interfaces

Medical equipment is often defined once documentation is well advanced. Its loads, power supplies, gases, ventilation and maintenance access must be coordinated without reopening the construction documents.

Integration

One information base for spaces, systems and technical requirements

Architect of Record, BIM and Sustainability work from the same information to coordinate defined criteria, engineering disciplines, equipment and performance targets within the construction documents.

01

Architect of Record

Criteria and requirements translated into construction documents

Architectural documentation developed from the defined design, program and requirements, coordinating patient rooms, clinical areas, circulation, services and interfaces with engineering and equipment.

02

BIM

Coordinating disciplines in technically dense spaces

Architecture, structure, MEP, medical gases, special systems and equipment coordinated in the federated model with each consultant’s information, to detect clashes and resolve interfaces before reaching the site.

03

Sustainability

Performance of a building in continuous operation

Water, energy and materials efficiency strategies for an asset that operates without interruption, coordinated with architecture, MEP and operational requirements. Energy modeling and commissioning, depending on scope.
