At JCG Construction, we understand that building or renovating a medical facility isn’t just about constructing a building—it’s about creating a space that supports the critical needs of healthcare providers and their patients. Whether you're constructing a new hospital, medical office, surgical center, or clinic in Saint Petersburg, Pinellas County, or surrounding areas, we have the expertise, experience, and commitment to ensure your facility is built to the highest standards.


Why Medical Facility Construction is Different

Medical facilities have unique requirements that set them apart from other commercial construction projects. These spaces are not only designed to support patient care but also to comply with stringent health, safety, and privacy regulations. From the layout of patient rooms to the installation of specialized systems, every detail matters. At JCG Construction, we’re equipped and ready to tackle these challenges, ensuring your medical facility is functional, safe, and up to code.


Hygiene and Cleanability: Our Top Priority

In medical buildings, hygiene and cleanliness are non-negotiable. We design spaces with easy-to-clean materials and surfaces that can withstand frequent sterilization. Our expertise includes selecting and installing materials like epoxy floors, stainless steel finishes, and non-porous walls that can be sanitized thoroughly and efficiently. These choices not only help prevent infection but also contribute to a healthier environment for patients, staff, and visitors.


At JCG, we know that the surfaces and finishes we select play a significant role in infection control, and we ensure every inch of your medical facility is built to minimize the risk of contamination.



Electrical and Backup Systems: Power You Can Count On

Medical facilities rely on a steady and reliable electrical supply for the operation of critical equipment. From life-saving machines to ventilation systems, uninterrupted power is essential. Our team at JCG Construction specializes in installing robust electrical systems with redundant power supplies. We ensure your facility is equipped with backup generators to power essential systems during emergencies, keeping your operations running smoothly even during power outages.

We also work closely with you to ensure that every aspect of the facility’s electrical system is planned, designed, and executed with precision. Whether you need specialized circuits for medical equipment or surge protection for sensitive devices, we have the knowledge and experience to meet your unique requirements.


Specialized Systems for Air Quality and Oxygen Delivery

Air quality and oxygen delivery are two of the most critical components of healthcare facility design. We understand that every room and area in your facility needs to be equipped with the right air filtration and oxygen systems to ensure patient safety. JCG Construction is experienced in routing oxygen lines to patient rooms, surgical suites, and emergency areas. We also specialize in the design and installation of HVAC systems that include high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters and ultraviolet (UV-C) systems to remove airborne pathogens and bacteria.

Additionally, for areas like intensive care units (ICU) or emergency rooms, we are skilled in installing negative pressure rooms that help isolate and contain airborne diseases, protecting both patients and medical staff. We make sure that all of these systems comply with health codes, keeping your facility running at its highest potential.


Fire Protection and Safety: Your Facility’s Safety Net

Building a medical facility involves ensuring that all fire protection systems are in place and compliant with safety regulations. Areas such as surgical rooms, imaging areas, and laboratories require specific fire suppression systems that minimize equipment damage while effectively preventing the spread of fire. At JCG, we implement cutting-edge fire protection solutions, from sprinkler systems to non-water-based fire suppression, designed specifically for high-risk medical environments.

Our fire safety designs don’t stop at equipment; we also focus on creating layouts that allow for quick and efficient evacuation in case of emergencies. We work with you to ensure that your facility is not only compliant but also capable of protecting patients and staff in every situation.


Secure Equipment Storage and Access

Medical equipment is expensive and must be stored securely. Whether you have imaging machines, ventilators, or surgical tools, we ensure your facility is designed to store and protect these assets. At JCG, we focus on designing storage rooms and equipment areas that offer easy access while maintaining security.

We also understand that medical devices are often needed in high-pressure situations. That’s why we design spaces with immediate access to critical equipment, ensuring it’s never out of reach when seconds count. Our team works closely with you to identify the best layouts for these areas, considering workflow efficiency and emergency response.


HIPAA Compliance: Privacy for Patients and Staff

Patient privacy is crucial in every healthcare setting. At JCG Construction, we ensure that your facility is built with HIPAA-compliant soundproofing systems that protect patient information and ensure confidentiality. We use specialized acoustic materials and sound-masking systems in exam rooms, waiting areas, and offices to ensure conversations remain private.

We also make sure that the facility’s design includes secure entry points and restricted access areas to safeguard sensitive medical data. Our team understands the importance of patient privacy, and we implement the best design solutions to ensure your facility meets all HIPAA standards.


Optimized Layouts for Efficiency

When it comes to medical facilities, efficiency is key. The layout of a healthcare building directly impacts how well it functions. A well-organized medical facility allows for smooth patient flow, reducing wait times and improving overall patient care. At JCG, we design layouts that make it easy for staff to move between departments, respond to emergencies quickly, and interact with patients in the most effective way possible.

Whether it’s optimizing traffic flow in a busy clinic or creating clear signage for patients and visitors, we handle all aspects of your facility’s layout to make it as user-friendly and efficient as possible. Our designs focus on accessibility, ease of navigation, and effective use of space, ensuring your facility is ready to serve both staff and patients with ease.

In Saint Petersburg and across Pinellas County, medical facilities are subject to strict building codes and healthcare regulations. At JCG Construction, we are well-versed in both local and federal healthcare construction standards, and we ensure that every part of your project is compliant with these regulations. Our team works with you to secure the necessary permits, meet inspection requirements, and ensure that every aspect of your facility meets or exceeds local standards.
