Why planning decides a hospital’s success

Hospital project from concept to completion

Most problems in a running hospital, such as crowded corridors, long walks for nurses, an OT far from the ICU, or a failed fire or KPME inspection, are planning mistakes that are expensive to fix after construction.

Medasus works with experienced hospital architects and planners to turn your clinical vision into a building that is efficient for staff, comfortable for patients and compliant with the rules, at a budget you can sustain.

What hospital planning and designing includes

Location and site

Catchment, access, parking, ambulance entry, zoning and the approvals the site allows.

Service and bed plan

Specialties, OPDs, beds, ICU, OTs and diagnostics for today and the next phase.

Space programme

A room-by-room schedule with areas for every department.

Architectural layout

Zoning, patient, staff and material flows, vertical circulation and fire exits.

Services design

Electrical and back-up power, medical gases, HVAC, plumbing, drainage and IT.

Budget and phasing

Construction, equipment and licence costs, and what to build in phase one. Indicative costs

Our planning and building process

  1. Brief and site visit: your specialty, target patients, land or building, budget.
  2. Feasibility: services, bed count and a high-level budget.
  3. Licence mapping: KPME, fire, KSPCB, AERB and other rules built into the design.
  4. Concept and detailed design: layouts, elevations, services drawings.
  5. Construction support: contractor selection, site supervision, quality checks.
  6. Fit-out and equipment: interiors, furniture and medical equipment installed to the plan.

Rules we design around

  • Registration standards for your category under KPME (or the Clinical Establishments Act in other states)
  • Fire safety approvals based on building height and use (fire NOC)
  • Biomedical waste storage and KSPCB consent for bedded hospitals (KSPCB)
  • Radiation-safe X-ray and CT rooms for AERB approval
  • NABH expectations on space, infection control and patient safety

FAQ

What does hospital planning include?
Feasibility and location, the service and bed plan, a room-by-room space programme, architectural layout, services design (power, gases, HVAC, plumbing), licence mapping and a budget with phasing.
Can you plan a hospital in an existing building?
Yes. We check structure, floor heights, lifts, ramps, fire exits and services, then plan the conversion and tell you what changes are needed.
Do you work with our architect?
Yes. We can provide the clinical planning, equipment and licence inputs to your architect, or bring architects we work with.
How early should licences be considered?
Before design. Requirements for KPME, fire safety, KSPCB, AERB and biomedical waste affect the layout, and fixing them after construction costs more.
Do you only plan large hospitals?
No. We plan clinics, dental clinics, labs, diagnostic centres, nursing homes, multi-speciality hospitals and occupational health centres.
