Healthcare construction and design has evolved as medicine itself has advanced and changed, and as specializations have been created. Right now healthcare institutions are starting to transition from volume-based facilities to more specialized institutions, buildings that will improve patient care in the hospital, and positively impact outcomes after the patient leaves. The country is also seeing the emergence of private healthcare institutions that are also shifting the emphasis away from maximum patient occupancy. Private or public, the healthcare sector is moving toward building more, but smaller, healthcare institutions, and strategically placing them across the nation to support the healing and well-being of types of patients.
American healthcare is changing, in other words, adapting to new demographic demands and new technologies. And change means opportunity. With this change in demand in mind, we searched hundreds of contractors in the country to come up with this list of the best contractors who specialize in building healthcare facilities. These contractors have built some of the most innovative healthcare establishments that feature top-of-the-line facilities and outstanding architecture. We chose and ranked these contractors based on the industry awards they have received, the number of healthcare projects they have constructed, their affiliations, and the notable projects they have built in their service areas. These builders are among the highest-ranking healthcare contractors in the country, as reported in the 2018 Giants 300 Report.
If you are thinking about building a healthcare facility, we recommend checking each builder’s license with the local licensing board, speaking to past clients, and using our bidding system to get competitive quotes from at least 3 contractors. Getting multiple bids is the best way to ensure you get a fair price and that bids include the complete scope of work.
