For Healthcare Facilities
AEC Specialists for Healthcare Facility Design & Construction
Healthcare is the most complex building type in AEC — medical gas, infection control, 5+ trade coordination, and FGI compliance. Your A/E firm needs dedicated MEP specialists who understand these requirements. We match them in under a week.
Healthcare Construction Demands the Highest AEC Complexity
The $25–30B US healthcare construction market combines the most stringent code requirements, the most complex MEP coordination, and the highest compensation premiums in AEC. Finding specialists who understand this intersection is the bottleneck.

See how pricing worksFrequently Asked Questions
What healthcare-specific experience do your specialists have?
We screen for healthcare project experience — hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, medical office buildings, and specialty care facilities. Our specialists understand FGI Guidelines, ASHRAE 170 ventilation requirements, NFPA 99 medical gas standards, and the multi-trade coordination complexity unique to healthcare.
How do you handle FGI and healthcare code requirements?
Our specialists produce work informed by FGI Guidelines, ASHRAE 170, NFPA 99, and NEC Article 517. All code compliance decisions, interpretations, and sign-offs remain with your licensed Professional Engineers and Architects. Our specialists produce code-aware documentation under your PE direction.
Can your specialists handle medical gas system design support?
Yes. Our plumbing and MEP specialists have experience with medical gas systems — oxygen, medical air, nitrogen, vacuum, and WAGD systems — following NFPA 99 requirements under PE direction.
What about infection control and pressure relationships?
Our HVAC designers understand healthcare-specific pressure relationships (positive/negative/neutral zones), air change rate requirements per ASHRAE 170, and filtration standards. All design decisions are reviewed and approved by your PE.
What does pricing look like for healthcare AEC specialists?
Healthcare AEC specialists typically range from $4,000–$6,000/month for full-time engagement, depending on specialization. That's 50–60% less than comparable US healthcare AEC talent at $85K–$140K+/year.
How fast can we get started?
Healthcare-experienced specialists may take 48–72 hours for initial vetting presentation due to the specialized screening. Once tool access and scope are confirmed, onboarding is designed to get production moving within the first week.
