There are new developments in many aspects of healthcare construction today. Prefabrication and safety are two areas where there has been substantial change, according to an article on the Dallas/Fort Worth Healthcare Daily website.
Computer modeling (BIM) is one of the biggest drivers enabling prefabrication in construction. According to the article, the high degree of accuracy in the models allows for the use of BIM information for coordination, pre-installation planning, pre-assembly and actual factory fabrication of critical building components.
Focus on safety accounts for many improvements in healthcare construction. Project teams are producing the same (or better) results while eliminating risk to the patient, worker and adjacent objects, people or buildings, the article said.
