In the healthcare field, concrete construction of hospital buildings is a trend that has swept much of the country. Using concrete produces a structure that is strong, meets standard column spacing templates specified by local codes, and allows the flexibility for future expansion. In addition, concrete facilitates noise control, energy efficiency, infection control, and dampening vibration needed in the presence of sensitive medical equipment. Where earthquakes and wind storms are prevalent, concrete withstands natural events.
Multidisciplinary teams of architects, engineers, construction managers/contractors, owners, clinicians, financial advisors, and consultants are involved in making both design and cost decisions for new healthcare buildings, but construction managers and general contractors often champion the value of concrete construction.
