Healthcare Construction Consultants

Driving Efficiency in Healthcare Construction

With results-driven construction consultants at the ready, the experienced team at Mitchell McDermott offers several multidisciplinary services to achieve the best outcomes in your healthcare build.

By monitoring the Irish healthcare sector, we are well-positioned to guide clients through the complex process of their healthcare construction projects.

Healthcare Construction in Ireland

Under the Project Ireland 2040 initiative, the Irish government is making significant investments in healthcare infrastructure. The healthcare sector is set to receive €10.9 billion between now and 2027. This funding is allocated for the construction of new hospitals and the expansion of capacity in existing facilities.

The private healthcare sector has also posted steady growth in the last few years. Mitchell McDermott has successfully delivered numerous high-quality private healthcare facilities, leveraging our extensive knowledge and expertise to ensure excellence in this sector.

Our Healthcare Construction Services

Having years of experience in construction, we provide consultancy support in all aspects of building hospitals and other healthcare facilities like senior living, nursing homes, and mental health care facilities. 

Our healthcare construction consultancy services include the following.    

Project Management

With our expert guidance and meticulous attention to detail, our project managers will ensure that your healthcare projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest standards of quality.

All this has to be achieved while bearing in mind the project objectives as well as the needs of key stakeholders. Key services in the effective management of healthcare projects include the essentials below. 

Design Team Selection

Drawing on our extensive knowledge of healthcare planning and construction, we procure and recommend appointment of the right design team. We procure professionals, such as engineers and architects amongst other essential experts, to ensure a successful project delivery of hospitals and other facilities.    

Risk Management

Backed by industry experience, we identify potential risks, challenges, and opportunities. Our detailed analysis allows you to make well-informed decisions for every aspect of your project.  

End User Stakeholder Engagement

Effective engagement with end users throughout the planning, briefing, and design phases is fundamental to the successful delivery of healthcare projects. We foster meaningful collaboration with key stakeholders including medical professionals, clinical staff, and healthcare management teams to ensure the final outcome is aligned with the practical needs of healthcare providers and the expectations of patients. This inclusive approach helps deliver solutions that are both functional and patient centered.

 By integrating user feedback into key decision-making processes such as functional space planning, clinical workflow modelling, and equipment coordination we ensure the built environment supports safe, efficient, and patient centred models of care. This collaborative approach mitigates risk, enhances design outcomes, and ensures that the final solution is both operationally effective and aligned with contemporary clinical best practice.

Sustainability

In Ireland the medical care sector is responsible for 4.4% of the country’s carbon emissions. This places pressure on the industry to adopt energy transitions and emission-reducing strategies. Our team are experienced in helping our clients reduce emissions and achieve sustainable accreditations like BREEAM and LEED, ensuring long-term environmental compliance and efficiency.  

Quantity Surveying

Our chartered quantity surveyor team manages all financial aspects, ensuring accuracy and efficiency. Here are some of the essential methods used to achieve efficient cost management. 

Financial Modelling

Through tailored financial models, we analyse construction costs and project viability. Our approach includes a comprehensive assessment of all related expenses, ensuring cost-effective and efficient healthcare facility development.

Design Health Checks and Benchmarking

Design health checks and benchmarking are conducted to assess the cost efficiency of various design elements, ensuring optimal value without compromising quality. Our QS team provides detailed evaluations to enhance cost-effectiveness and efficiency, particularly in healthcare and residential projects. Schemes are benchmarked against similar projects to compare costs and ensure the best value for money.

Value Engineering 

In healthcare facility construction management, value engineering enhances projects by maximising cost-efficiency, functionality and quality.

This method identifies cost-saving opportunities without compromising essential functions or patient safety. It focuses on using quality materials and construction techniques while also exploring cost-effective solutions to maximise the net value of the project.
