Healthcare Construction

A facility director choosing a general contractor for clinical space is not primarily buying construction. They are buying confidence that the building will stay open, stay clean and pass inspection while the work happens.

Seven healthcare projects

Cone Health, Alamance Regional, Greensboro ENT, Labcorp and Capital Animal Hospital, from 1,900 to 35,000 sq ft.

ICRA certified

Field teams hold the infection control standard that governs the sequence before the first wall comes down.

Occupied clinical space

Work phased around operating clinics and active medical office buildings rather than around an empty shell.

Infection control is the first conversation, not the last

Hayco's field teams are ICRA certified. On an occupied clinical project that certification governs the sequence before the first wall comes down. The risk assessment class is set with the facility's infection preventionist, containment is built and tested, negative pressure is monitored, and the route for debris and materials is fixed so it never crosses patient circulation.

The practical consequence for the owner is that the containment plan is a deliverable with a name on it rather than a promise made at the kickoff meeting.

Phasing around care that cannot stop

Clinical space runs on a schedule construction does not get to change. Hayco's healthcare work has been sequenced around operating clinics, active medical office buildings and a working surgery center. In practice that means night and weekend work where the department cannot close, temporary partitions that keep a corridor rated and usable, and utility tie-ins scheduled against the clinical calendar rather than the construction one.

Inspection and agency sequence

Healthcare projects answer to more than the local building department. Depending on the space and the state that can include the health system's own facilities standards, fire marshal review of any change to a rated assembly or egress path, and licensure requirements for clinical space returning to service. Hayco builds the review sequence into the schedule at preconstruction, because an inspection discovered late is a schedule event rather than a paperwork event.

How healthcare projects are usually delivered

01

Interior upfit

covers most medical office and clinic work, where the shell exists and the question is what goes in it and how the department keeps running.

02

Design-build

suits additions and new clinical space, where mechanical and infection control decisions are best made with the builder in the room.

03

General construction

under a completed design is the right structure when the health system has already run its own design process.

Where Hayco builds healthcare

Healthcare work has been delivered in North Carolina, Virginia and South Carolina. Hayco is licensed across North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee and Georgia, and staffs work from Pilot Mountain and Raleigh, North Carolina, and West Columbia, South Carolina.

Common questions

Are your crews ICRA certified?

Yes. Hayco's healthcare teams hold ICRA certification, the infection control risk assessment standard for working in occupied clinical environments.

Can the clinic stay open during construction?

In most cases yes. Every healthcare project above was delivered in or adjacent to an operating facility. Containment, phasing and after-hours sequencing are priced as part of the work rather than added later.

Do you work with health systems outside North Carolina?

Yes. Hayco holds licenses in five states and has delivered healthcare-sector work in Virginia and South Carolina in addition to North Carolina.
