- We work with
- Your architect, MEP consultant and contractor
- Focus
- Flows, zoning and room requirements that NABH and licensing authorities check
- Deliverable
- Space programme, adjacency diagram and drawing reviews at each stage
- Covers
- Hospitals, AYUSH hospitals, Panchakarma centres, dental clinics and labs
What we plan
- Space programme — every room the services need, with indicative sizes.
- Adjacencies — emergency next to imaging and OT access, ICU close to OT, labour room linked to the newborn area, CSSD serving OTs.
- Flows — separate patient, visitor, staff, clean supply, dirty return and waste routes.
- Infection control zoning — OT zones, isolation rooms, hand-wash points, finishes that can be disinfected.
- Critical areas — OT and ICU layouts with provision for air handling, medical gases and power back-up.
- AYUSH specifics — Panchakarma therapy rooms with drainage, steam and oil handling, separate male and female therapy areas, medicine preparation areas.
- Dental specifics — chair spacing, a CSSD with one-way flow, radiation shielding for X-ray, OPG and CBCT.
- Safety — fire compartments and escape routes, horizontal evacuation for non-ambulant patients, medical gas manifold and cylinder storage.
How we work with your architect
We start with a written space programme, review concept and working drawings against NABH and licensing requirements, and flag issues before construction — when changes still cost little.
Frequently asked questions
Can you work with our existing architect?
Yes. We do not replace your architect; we give them a healthcare space programme and review drawings at each stage against NABH, infection control, fire and licensing requirements.
Which design mistakes cause NABH problems later?
The common ones are CSSD without a one-way dirty-to-clean flow, OTs without proper zoning or air-handling provision, too few hand-wash points, no space for biomedical waste holding, no patient-friendly evacuation route from ICUs, and pharmacies or stores without temperature control.
