Why Healthcare Leaders Trust Richard
Our Approach:
Built for Better, Not Just Faster.
-
Before we touch a wall, we align with stakeholders—owners, design teams, user groups, and hospital facilities leaders—to set goals, identify risks, and develop a strategic path forward. We use BIM modeling, logistics planning, infection control mapping, and schedule phasing to ensure clarity before construction begins.
-
In active care settings, we prioritize patient safety and operational continuity. Our phased construction methods, modular installations, and off-hour scheduling reduce disruption. We maintain detailed lookahead schedules, enforce daily jobsite cleanliness, and coordinate closely with hospital staff throughout.
-
Our S.A.F.E. Program empowers everyone—from laborers to execs—to speak up and act. With daily hazard analyses, rigorous infection control, and on-site SSHOs, we’ve gone over 4,000 days without a lost-time injury.
-
Every system—from nurse call to HVAC—is tested, reviewed, and verified in advance. We enforce a three-phase quality review (preparation, inspection, follow-up) and leverage real-time QA/QC tracking and third-party commissioning to ensure every detail is right from day one.
-
Our proprietary Richard Building Model™ and Center for Enhanced Performance (CEP) integrate real-time analytics, digital workflows, and PMIS/ERP tools. We make decisions based on data—not guesswork—and bring transparency to every step.
