Renovating Or Building From The Ground Up
Gurr Construction offers renovation services and new builds to help healthcare facilities of all sizes reap the benefits of quality construction. No matter the size of your project, we have the expertise needed to help you enhance your health offerings. Our contractors will help you determine what your needs are and how the design can be changed to meet the changing needs of patients. Renovating an operating room, patient waiting area, or the exterior of your building can help drastically, without the high price of new construction.
Key Elements Of A Healthcare Build
When it comes to healthcare and patient care facilities, there are common components that you may expect to find in that space. For example, in a dental office or clinic, you will expect a patient waiting area that is separate from the rest of the facility. Here are some key elements that we often include in healthcare construction.
Natural Light
Allowing natural light to fill your space will not only help the room appear larger, but can also be essential for patients who have extended hospital stays or who could benefit from the health benefits of sunlight. Large windows and glass doors will help the hospital or clinic feel less sterile, while also helping all people get a little more Vitamin D. Contractors will use safety glass that is durable and crack-resistant to protect patients inside, without blocking them from the outside world.
Easy To Clean Materials
Cleanliness is important for a healthcare facility, not only by removing tracked-in debris, but also hazardous materials, bodily fluids, and chemicals used in medical procedures. Keeping the flooring and operating rooms free of bacteria will help keep immunocompromised patients from further health complications. Healthcare construction companies will use materials that are resistant to moisture, use epoxy to make mopping or sweeping less of a chore, and use durable paint that is resistant to stains or holding on to liquids and smells.
Data And Information Centers
With all that goes on inside a hospital, clinic, or urgent care, having a place to store vital information that can be accessed by professionals will help keep the operation running smoothly. These centers can help keep information more organized, filter it by certain criteria, or help track patterns that could aid in improving the healthcare scene.
Wide And Functional Layouts
One of the most important aspects of commercial construction is helping the facility to be easily accessible to all people and medical equipment. Wide hallways, tall and wide doorways, and automatic sliding doors will make it easier for everyone to navigate the space or rush somewhere in an emergency. Moving around large carts of medication, equipment, or moving patients to an operating room is easier when you don’t have to navigate tight corners.

FAQ
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How Do Your Contractors Ensure Safety In Healthcare Buildings?
When hiring a commercial contractor, the biggest benefit is their ability to limit the risk of injury to employees and builders. Our team uses PPE and modern equipment to ensure that the building is constructed with the right materials and is safe to use by all people. We don’t use materials that are compromised or prone to weather damage, which helps ensure the building’s longevity.
Will Operations Continue During Construction?
In order to uphold patient health and safety, it is not recommended that a healthcare facility operate during construction. Even if a hospital or clinic is remodeling one section of a building, the dust, noise, and extra workers will not be optimal for those struggling with their health.
