Next, we help define the scope of work. A clear scope is especially important in rehabilitation construction because the project may involve multiple trades, specialized equipment, patient accessibility, landlord requirements, inspections, utility limitations, and life safety systems.We aim to identify what is included, what requires further review, and what may need architectural drawings, engineering, state review, equipment specifications, permits, fire protection coordination, flooring specialists, or specialty contractors.Once the scope is clear, we coordinate the construction phases.
This may include demolition, framing, plumbing and electrical rough-ins, HVAC coordination, fire protection work, inspections, drywall, ceilings, flooring, painting, equipment backing, cabinetry support, fixture installation, finish work, punch list items, cleaning, and project closeout.Throughout the project, we focus on communication, sequencing, cleanliness, patient safety, equipment coordination, staff access, trade coordination, inspections, and schedule awareness so the build-out remains organized and moves toward completion.
