The COVID-19 outbreak has irrevocably changed the way healthcare facility developers and organizations approach the construction, renovation, and updating of hospitals, outpatient facilities, and other medical complexes. In this article, we’ll explore six key themes emerging as critical for healthcare facility developers to factor into their designs and budgets as they innovate the hospitals of the future.

BIM (building information modeling) is a well-recognized tool for the support of construction cost estimation, but problems arise when the data rendered by BIM is not tempered by the knowledge and critical thinking of skilled professionals with real-life experience.

Today, the owners and operators of assisted living facilities are faced with growing demand and the evolving needs of their end-users. In this article, we explore key industry trends owners and operators should consider in estimating the cost and building for senior and assisted living facilities in a post-pandemic world.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) helps provide accurate cost estimations and other important information — but only when used in conjunction with on-the-ground experts who both understand BIM software and have trade experience within the construction industry.

Traditionally, the cost estimating process doesn’t start until the contract has been proposed to the design firm — or even until the contractors are hired, which can potentially result in mismanagement of the project’s budget. WCCI identified the gap in the typical construction and design process, creating Prep2Bid to give firms a better understanding of potential project costs at a much earlier stage.

Design firms can significantly increase their win rates by bidding for the jobs they are qualified to handle from start to finish. In this article, we explore the steps to optimize proposals in the bidding process for top results.
