MEDICAL AND HEALTHCARE BUILDING
Or Call: (020) xxxx–xxxx
A medical and healthcare building is a facility that provides treatment or care for patients. This type of building may include hospitals, nursing homes, outpatient clinics (like Casa de Salud), psychiatry facilities, and more. Casper Builders can help you with any questions regarding this kind of structure!
There are many benefits to constructing a medical and health care facility. Some advantages include: helping people get better faster through high-quality treatments/care options; giving doctors access to all the tools they need for successful operations; it allows individuals from various parts of society easier access to quality medicine without having to travel far distances, which saves time, etcetera.
If you are a person who needs to build sheds or warehouses, then this kind of structure is not advisable.
Medical and healthcare buildings are not suitable for areas such as cinemas, malls and restaurants.
The following types exist: hospitals, nursing homes, outpatient clinics, psychiatry facilities, etcetera. The next section provides more information on each type as well as their respective requirements in relation to size, cleanliness and sanitation factors, etcetera.
- HOSPITAL: A hospital is a building where people receive medical attention. The size of the space required for this type of structure varies depending on its purpose and design, but it usually ranges from 500 square meters (m2) to 20000 m2.
- NURSING HOME: This kind of facility provides residents with long-term care services such as dressing wounds or administering medications to patients who are unable to take care of themselves due to mental deterioration, etcetera. This also needs a certain amount of space that ranges between 100 and 2000 m2 and cleanliness and sanitation requirements must be met for them not to pose potential health risks for both employees and clients alike.
- OUTPATIENT CLINICS: These buildings do not offer any overnight services and usually contain a waiting room where clients can sit down, read magazines or watch TV while they wait for their appointments.
- PSYCHIATRY FACILITIES: This kind of building houses patients that have mental problems such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, etc., who need care from professionals who try to prevent them from harming themselves more than necessary during crisis moments. These buildings range between 500 and 2000 m2 in size and also require cleanliness and sanitation features.
For your establishment to run smoothly without causing any inconvenience to those involved with it (e.g., doctors), numerous things must be considered during its construction/erection process, such as:
- THE SIZE OF THE SPACE YOU NEED: The size of the building is highly contingent on the number of patients to be treated. This also applies to the size of rooms, laboratories, and other areas that are deemed necessary for effective operation.
- CLEANLINESS AND SANITATION: It is advised not only by healthcare professionals but architects as well, to maintain a high level of cleanliness during construction/erection to avoid accidents or infections that may occur if proper sanitary conditions are not maintained at all times. For example, workers must wear protective clothing while handling hazardous materials such as chemicals used to clear away dirt, etc.
- ACCESSIBILITY: It should go without saying that accessibility features play an integral role in any medical building because they imply easy access within each room or area, so patients can have quick access to what they need. Another example of this would be elevators.
- SECURITY FEATURES: Let’s face it, security is one of the main concerns for medical buildings because some patients require more attention than others or possess extreme cases of mental illness that can lead to violence if not properly supervised at all times, which calls for special forms of safety measures such as panic buttons and on-site security personnel.
- ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: Casper Builders suggest building a LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) compliant construction project even though they do not guarantee to receive any points towards certification, but may receive credit depending on what county your facility resides in. Casper builders only ensure an environmentally friendly design/build process throughout each stage.
Building a medical and healthcare building can be complicated, but Casper Builders provides expert advice to ensure the entire process is as efficient as possible. Caspar Builder’s consultants are trained to help you with everything from planning your new structure through its construction.
