Medical Office Construction Questions, Answered
Do you build medical offices in leased space or only new buildings?
Both. We build ground-up medical facilities and we do interior build-outs and renovations of clinics in existing buildings across the Portland Metro Area.
How is a medical build-out different from a regular office build-out?
More of the work is clinical. It adds infection control, non-porous surfaces, hands-free fixtures, specialized ventilation, medical gas and backup power where the practice needs them, plus ADA and fire and life safety requirements.
Do you handle permits and code compliance for clinics?
Yes. We work with your architect and the local agencies on code-compliant plans, pull the permits, and handle medical code compliance including seismic, ADA, and fire and life safety.
How much does a medical office build-out cost?
It depends on the size of the space, its condition, and how much clinical equipment and plumbing the practice needs. Our tenant improvement cost guide explains what drives the price per square foot, and we give you a firm number after a walkthrough.
Can you work on a clinic that stays open?
Often, yes. We phase the work and control dust and noise. Whether you can keep seeing patients depends on the scope, and we tell you honestly during planning.
Do you build veterinary clinics too?
Yes. We build veterinary clinics to the same clinical standards. See our veterinary construction page.
