Simply put, our healthcare pedigree is unmatched. Not only have our craft worked on the vast majority of major local healthcare projects, we also maintain a robust service and maintenance presence at OHSU, Kaiser, PeaceHealth, Providence, Legacy, and other facilities throughout the region.

Healthcare Content Blocks
Key Differentiators:
Extensive Healthcare Experience: Our team has extensive experience delivering projects in diverse healthcare environments, including hospitals, outpatient clinics, medical research, life sciences, and laboratory facilities.
Specialized Systems Expertise: We bring comprehensive knowledge of critical healthcare systems such as medical gas, nurse call, sterilization, HVAC, and other critical medical utility systems. Our experienced craft provide precision installation and our team supports commissioning to meet stringent healthcare requirements and codes.
Preconstruction Expertise: Our team collaborates closely with all stakeholders during preconstruction to address budget constraints, assist with system selection, optimize designs, and provide accurate cost forecasting and schedule input. With a deep understanding of healthcare construction, we identify cost-saving opportunities, maintain budget transparency, and ensure projects hit target values without compromising quality.
Off-Site Manufacturing (OSM): To accelerate schedules and reduce on-site disruptions, we utilize our industry leading OSM capabilities to move as much of the work off the site as possible, racking hallway utilities, prefabricating headwalls, and work packaging and modularizing mechanical and electrical assemblies. The result is a safer, more efficient, and higher quality project that benefits all stakeholders.
Operational Continuity: We bring extraordinary expertise in performing phased construction and retrofits within active hospital environments. We understand how to minimize disruptions to ongoing healthcare operations and patient experience as we complete complicated tie-ins to adjacent facilities or campus utilities.
Infection Control and Safety Compliance: We rigorously adhere to infection control protocols and comply with healthcare construction standards to ensure patient and staff safety during construction, maintenance, and service activities.
