We apply our healthcare construction expertise to carefully manage complex projects from design through to completion, with a focus on quality, functionality and technical execution.

STRABAG Belgium has experienced teams with expertise in the construction and refurbishment of healthcare buildings. Healthcare projects present specific requirements in terms of design and construction. Patient and visitor flows, medical equipment and building services, indoor climate, accessibility, safety and the different uses of the building all need to be carefully coordinated. From an early stage, we therefore work closely with the client to address the technical feasibility, planning and execution of the project.

A well-considered project strategy, rigorous planning and optimal coordination of the various construction activities provide the basis for an efficient and well-managed construction process. This is particularly important for refurbishments and extensions on operational healthcare sites, where construction activities and phasing need to be carefully coordinated with the services that continue during the works. Together with the client, we develop an approach that takes into account the specific technical and operational conditions of the project.

Our local expertise in areas including BIM, MEP, LEAN and digitalisation supports this integrated approach. It enables construction and technical disciplines to be coordinated at an early stage, technical challenges to be addressed during preparation and planning, and construction processes to be optimised in a targeted way. Particular attention is also paid to the integration and coordination of the extensive building services that are characteristic of healthcare projects.

Depending on the chosen form of collaboration, we can also provide a Design & Build approach. This allows design and construction to be closely aligned and enables technical and construction considerations to be incorporated during the design process.

When selecting construction methods, we also look for solutions that meet the technical, operational and economic requirements of the project. Where the design and project-specific conditions allow, prefabricated and modular solutions can, for example, be used to organise construction efficiently.

Our local engineering expertise is further strengthened by the knowledge and capabilities of the international STRABAG Group. This gives our teams access to an extensive network of specialist engineering expertise and technical solutions for complex challenges. In this way, we combine local healthcare construction expertise and direct communication with the extensive technical capabilities of an international construction group.
