Every phase of construction plays a crucial role in delivering a quality healthcare facility. Among these, the pre-construction phase is especially important because it sets the foundation for everything that follows.
In this blog, we will explore why pre-construction management matters so much and how Infinity Devcon has established itself as a leader in this field. Let’s take a look at the essential steps we follow to ensure every project starts on the right foot.
Understanding the Vision: From Requirements to Strategy
Every healthcare project begins with a vision. At this stage, we work closely with promoters, doctors and stakeholders to map out clinical requirements.
- We conduct detailed consultations to understand departmental needs and medical service plans.
- Flowcharts are developed for patient, staff, and material movement to ensure logical, hygienic design.
- Depending on whether it’s a greenfield, brownfield, or expansion project, we build a site-specific strategy aligned with future scalability and compliance requirements.
This early clarity helps avoid costly changes later and creates a strong foundation for success.
Building on Solid Ground: Site Evaluation and Planning
Once the vision is defined, it’s time to dive deep into the physical aspects of the site.
- We conduct thorough site inspections, check boundaries and coordinate essential tests like soil and contour analysis.
- We evaluate topography, municipal infrastructure, road access and seismic risks.
- Environmental and legal due diligence is conducted to flag any risks before design begins.
This step ensures that the site is viable and compliant with both operational needs and regulatory standards.
Planning for Precision: Scheduling, Design, and Budgeting
With a solid base established, our focus shifts to execution planning and coordination.
Key highlights include:
- A detailed Master Construction Schedule is created to guide the timeline.
- We identify long-lead items and plan for early procurement to avoid delays.
- Resource allocation charts ensure that manpower, materials, and equipment are lined up.
- Coordination with architects and MEP consultants allows for efficient designs that balance cost, performance and aesthetics.
- Preliminary BOQs and cost estimates help forecast expenses and align financial planning with banks or investors.
This proactive approach reduces delays and surprises as the project progresses.
Getting Approvals and Groundwork Ready
Healthcare infrastructure demands strict compliance. That’s why we support our clients in navigating regulatory requirements seamlessly.
- We manage documentation and liaison for NABH, AERB and pollution control approvals.
- FAR utilisation, zoning clearances, and municipal permits are also handled smoothly.
- Meanwhile, we kickstart early site work including fencing and utilities setup for OT walls, flooring, and facades.
