Advancements in the medical industry do not only refer to the release of recent researches that promotes the use of CBD, or perhaps, the ban of surgical-powdered gloves. Apart from lab research, it also involves the development of medical architecture. Something that makes the lab research effective and usable.
Note that medical architecture does not only comprise hospitals and clinics. There’s a wide variety of medical buildings ranging from nursing homes to imaging and radiology treatment centers. These even include the Mental Health and Addiction treatment centers as well as Diabetes education centers.
With that said, the advancements in all these medical buildings directly impact the up-gradation of the healthcare industry. And hence, for all those associated with this industry, it is important to keep yourself well-aware of trending practices and upgrades. For the very reason, we compiled this post for you, wherein you can discover the top 5 trends in medical building construction. So, let’s get straight into the subject.

1.    Robotics & Other Advanced Technologies

Technological advancements have dominated every field of the world to maximize efficiency and conserve resources. Hence, it was inevitable for them to become a medical building construction trend sooner or later.
Perhaps, the most innovative trend is the usage of robotics, such as drones. These drones, also called Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), enable the construction teams to survey the on-site tasks accurately. Plus, it assists in dangerous accident prevention and increases safety in the work atmosphere.
Apart from drones, another innovative advanced technology is virtual reality. Although it has been in the market since 2019, the trend has recently gained appreciation in the medical construction building sector.
The virtual reality refers to the augmented digital visualization of reality. It offers a complex yet logistical experience. In medical building construction, it allows one to review the planned project with a 360-degree perspective.

2.    Development of Multi-Use Healthcare Facilities

Although specific clinics and healthcare facilities are capable of offering exact, accurate, and efficient solution to a patient’s problem, we see several mixed-use healthcare facilities becoming common. And that’s because they make treatments and patient care convenient and cost-effective for providers and patients alike.
By definition, a multi-use healthcare facility refers to a medical building accommodating several medical professionals with different specializations under one roof. It is an all-in-one building, wherein patients can receive quality care without spending too much of their time and resources in unnecessary hassle. It also creates more job opportunities in the medical industry.

3.    Green Technology & Sustainability

According to research, the construction industry accounts for 20% of emissions released globally. However, with the growing population, the demand for buildings is also increasing. Consequently, it will lead to a rise in global emissions that can harm the environment.
Fortunately, a new construction building trend has gained rapid influence, called Green Technology. It refers to the construction of buildings using environmentally friendly and resources efficient methods.
Some of the green construction practices include using bricks made from the recycled cigarette, carbon scrubbing building facades, and installation of thermally-driven air conditioners. These methods are also popular in medical building construction.
Another trend on the rise is Sustainability, which alters the construction plans to make the world livable for the upcoming generations. Designing a building structure that allows more natural light to penetrate inside and reduce the usage of electricity is an example of sustainable medical building construction.

4.    Modular & Prefab Methods

Another emerging trend in the medical industry is the increasing use of modular and prefab methods during construction. And the reason that it’s becoming popular is the fact that it’s one of the highly cost-effective ways of putting up a building together.
How? Well, to understand that, let’s look at the fundamentals of modular and prefabrication methods. Technically, modular construction involves building most of the components of the building off-site. And then, bringing these pieces on-site for assembly. Hence, it helps construction projects to finish 30% – 50% earlier than traditional methods. Plus, it removes 80% of heavy construction activity from the actual site. Thus, conserving the beauty of your site and reducing post-construction cleaning and polishing costs. Most modular construction plans come included with design plans, eliminating architect costs. One can even get these buildings custom designed as per needs. Consequently, making medical facilities capable of meeting specific needs.

5.    Construction Management Software

The construction management software refers to a tool that organizes the data, calculate resource estimates, and simplifies the project managing processes. It streamlines daily tasks and helps meet the goals efficiently. Hence, improving the company’s overall performance.
Previously, the concept of using project management solutions was foreign to many work industries. However, considering the tool’s effectivity, the usage of a CMS has become a rising trend in medical building construction. More and more companies have incorporated CMS into their work system. One can find a plethora of CMS available in the market. While some companies are using available CMS tools in the market, others have customized their own.
