Hospitals


Hospitals are the most complex of building types. Each hospital comprises a wide range of services and functional units, from diagnostic and treatment functions such as clinical laboratories, imaging, emergency rooms and surgery to hospital-operations functions, such as food service and housekeeping as well as fundamental inpatient care or bed-related functions.

This diversity is reflected in the breadth and specificity of regulations, codes and oversight that govern hospital construction and operations. Each of the wide-ranging and constantly evolving functions of a hospital, including highly complicated mechanical, electrical, and telecommunications systems, requires specialised knowledge and expertise.

This is why specialised consultants play an important role in hospital planning, design, construction, commissioning and maintenance.
