MEP
Complex.
Phasing
Patient care.
Inspections
Many.
A closer look
Hospitals cannot stop. Every shutdown of water, power or medical gas must be planned with facility staff. Contractors who respect that become trusted partners.
Where to start
Partner with experienced healthcare subcontractors.
An example
A GC planned shutdowns with hospital staff weeks ahead. No patient areas were disrupted.
Common mistakes
Underestimating complexity, poor infection control and unplanned shutdowns.
What to track
Track shutdowns and infection control audits.
Questions to ask
Do we understand the codes? Who coordinates shutdowns? Are subs experienced?
Who owns it
The PM and superintendent coordinate with the facility team.
Pricing and risk
Healthcare work carries higher overhead for infection control, inspections and shutdown planning. Price it explicitly instead of hiding it in general conditions.

Frequently asked questions
Why is hospital construction different?
