FAQ
Healthcare and medical construction in Florida
- Does our facility need plan review?
- Ask your design professional or healthcare counsel in writing, before signing a lease. Do not assume from similar projects.
- Will you price without that answer?
- No. The two categories are too different.
- What makes healthcare cost more?
- Review, air handling, medical gas, life safety and occupied-facility working. Rarely finishes.
- Where does containment fail?
- Above the ceiling grid, where the plenum stays open.
- Is negative pressure monitored?
- Continuously, and logged for your infection preventionist.
- Who installs medical gas?
- Qualified installers, with independent verification by a party who did not install it.
- Can you self-certify medical gas?
- No, and a contractor offering to should be questioned.
- Can an exit be blocked briefly?
- No. Never, under any circumstances.
- Can a sprinkler zone go out of service?
- With an impairment procedure, a fire watch and the facility's agreement.
- Can the clinic stay open?
- Usually. The program is built around the clinical schedule.
- Why does dental equipment selection matter early?
- Utility positions come from manufacturer templates and go under the slab.
- Who designs imaging shielding?
- A medical physicist. We build to it.
- What is special about MRI?
- The magnetic field extends beyond the room permanently, including above and below.
- What drives infusion cost?
- The compounding pharmacy air handling, not the infusion floor.
- Is this site regulatory advice?
- No. General information. Your design team and the agency decide.
