From Drawings to Dysfunction: Where Healthcare Projects Break Down
Most healthcare projects fail before construction begins.
Healthcare construction projects fail in predictable ways. Failure accumulates, through a brief with missing clinical logic, an MEP system planned too late, a contractor lacking healthcare experience, a scope that expanded without budget following, and a handover that uncovered compliance gaps that could have been closed six months earlier.
Each of these failure points is preventable. Each has a corresponding design and project management discipline that addresses it. And each, left unaddressed, costs more to fix after construction than it would have cost to resolve at the stage where it originated.
This white paper maps the five points at which healthcare projects most commonly break down, and the decisions that keep projects on track
