The healthcare environment represents one of the most sophisticated and technically complex engineering challenges. It is an area where engineers have a major influence on the quality and performance of the completed facilities.
There is an increasing reliance on technology for health outcomes and the provision of health services. Beca's experience and understanding of the specialist requirements of healthcare design delivers structures and services capable of introducing these advances without major building modifications.
We are conscious of the capital cost and typical design longevity of healthcare facilities. As a result we ensure our clients understand the long-term effects of design decisions and apply continuous value engineering with reviews at each crucial design milestone. Inclusive decision-making is fundamental to our approach. This enables stakeholders and/or user groups to understand and buy into the design as it progresses.
Healthcare technologies are developing rapidly and recent experience is vital to make best use of latest design information and clinical needs. Typically, buildings remain occupied during upgrades and modifications and Beca has been instrumental in developing standards in design, construction and programme management.
